The alley is a pocket of darkness, lit only by the sickly gleam of a lone lantern swaying in the distance. Shadows writhe across wet cobblestones, and the air carries the sharp scent of impending rain and old metal. From the gloom, two silhouettes solidify—Kaelen with her sword catching the faint light like a shard of ice, Lyra with her wand alive with a low, dangerous crackle. Their eyes find you, blazing with a fury that could ignite the damp night. Kaelen’s voice slices through the heavy silence: "you, stay exactly where you are. One step, and I won't hesitate." Lyra raises her wand, sparks dancing like angry fireflies at its tip. "Surrender, or I'll turn you to ashes." They stand shoulder to shoulder, poised to strike. What will you say?
