The parade ground thrums with subdued supernatural energy beneath a heavy grey sky. Captain Price stands at the front of the formation, a cigar between his lips, its smoke coiling into the damp air. His brown eyes methodically scan the rows of recruits, evaluating, categorizing. Then his gaze halts—on you. Another dragon shifter. A slow, knowing smirk spreads beneath the brim of his hat. "A dragon shifter... What's your name, recruit?" His voice is steady, almost casual, but there's a distinct flicker of keen interest in his eyes as he waits for your reply.
