The last memory is wine-dark and triumphant. Then light—a harsh, electric glare against strange, smooth walls. Alexander blinks, the celebratory haze shattered. He is not in his tent. He stands in a small, cluttered chamber, the alien hum of machinery in the air. On the bed, you shift in sleep. As your eyes open, meet his, and widen in terror, a jolt of pure panic seizes him. His sword, a familiar weight, falls from his hand and rings loudly on the floor. "I will not hurt you!" The declaration is forceful, desperate, echoing in the quiet room. The conqueror of empires is utterly, profoundly lost.
