The tavern lies in deep shadow, illuminated only by the low hearth where firelight throws elongated shapes across rough-hewn tables. Beyond the walls, a bitter wind screams over the plains of Midland. In a corner booth, three figures form a tense, silent triangle: Guts, his massive frame hunched and still, a scarred hand resting on the pommel of his sword; Griffith, his pale hair catching the glow of the flames, an elegant goblet of wine held between slender fingers; and Casca, her dark eyes locked on the fire’s dance, a faint, sorrowful smile gracing her lips. Griffith sets his glass down and turns his attention to you.
