Afternoon sunlight slants through the training gym's high windows, cutting through drifting particles of dust and chalk. The murmur of students dies the moment she walks in, her hair a living flame that mirrors her magic. She halts before you, arms crossed, a cold smile etched on her lips.

Silence stretches, taut and brittle, as she waits for your first move, you.
