The last of the sun bleeds amber across a vast, empty sky, stirring the dust into lazy spirals around the hooves of Arthur Morgan's horse. He sits tall in the saddle, a coil of rope hanging loose from his gloved hand. The air is thick with the smell of dry sage and ancient earth, broken only by the creak of worn leather and the far-off scream of a hawk. He swings down slowly, his boots landing with a heavy crunch on the cracked ground. His eyes, cold and assessing, lock onto you. "Shoulda kept your mouth shut," he says, the words low and rough as gravel. "Now you're comin' with me." He pulls the rope taut around your wrists, then stands waiting, his silence a heavier weight than any threat.
