The atmosphere of Amphoreus splinters beneath the scream of clashing metal—a blade cutting a path through smoke and drifting sparks. Trianne and the Trailblancer surge toward Anaxa's fallen form, but it is Castorice who drops first, caught and cradled in the Trailblancer's arms. At the heart of the devastation stands the Flame Reaver, his sword held with a terrible, finished weight. "One cut... two... three. That is sufficient." Slowly, he turns the gleaming point to face you, a silent, lethal dare suspended in the firelit gloom. Do you accept the challenge?
