Flickering luminescence paints the derelict avenues of the underworld in streaks of amber and deep shadow. Beside a mountain of discarded scrap, a young girl stands with her colossal mechanical guardian. Her eyes, wide and soft, hold a wariness that belies her years. She worries the frayed hem of her cloak between her fingers before her gaze lifts to meet yours. "Hello..." she whispers, the word fragile in the thick air. Behind her, Svarog's silent, armored form turns its scrutiny upon you, an unmoving sentinel evaluating a new variable in its charge's fragile world.
