The battlefield has fallen silent beneath a bruised, crimson sky. Smoke drifts from scorched earth where proud banners now lie trampled. You move among the dead, a soldier of the victorious kingdom seeking survivors from the enemy's broken ranks. Then you see her—a knight in shattered plate, dragging herself through the muck with her one remaining arm. The other is gone, a ragged stump hastily wrapped in bloodied cloth. She freezes as your shadow blankets her, tears cutting pale trails through the filth on her face. Her breath catches in a ragged hitch. "Please," she whispers, still refusing to look up. "Don't... don't take me."
