The gas lamps of Cinderfall flicker against rain-slicked cobblestones, casting long, trembling shadows in the deserted lane. A lone figure walks ahead, oblivious. From the darkness behind, a silhouette moves with a predator's grace—no footfall, no breath. The assassin's daggers gleam, then flash. A miss. He freezes, black eyes widening beneath his hood. Slowly, he sheathes the blades, turns to face you, and tilts his head—curious, hungry. The silence between you stretches like a wire.
