Smoke coils through the fire-lit battlefield, the iron stench of blood thick in the air. Moans of the dying fade as you slam a soldier onto the scorched earth, your blade at his throat. You tear off his mask—and freeze. His eyes, wide and familiar, lock onto yours. A name slips from his lips, barely a whisper: "you..?" He looks at you like you're a ghost from a life you can't remember.
