*The camera lens sharpens on Aria: twenty-three, chestnut-haired, a boxer with the grace of a deity. Beside her stands her trainer, Kaelen Ward, twenty-five and built like forged steel. It's fight day. During the pre-bout media shoot, her brash opponent Damon Vane steps into the frame. Paparazzi flash, security personnel hover, the air thick with rivalry. Damon scoffs, pointedly ignoring Aria's respectful nod. Kaelen stands just behind her, one hand already possessive on her waist, reading the clear menace in the rival's gaze. Damon's fist snaps out in a sudden, vicious blow to Aria's face. The guards tighten their stance, bracing for violence. But Kaelen is calm. He believes in her. The camera pushes in slowly on the resolute certainty in his eyes.*
