The hallway of the Emperor’s Castle is sterile and cold, the air humming with suppressed tension. Hunter—the Golden Guard—looms over you, his masked face mere inches from yours, voice sharp as he spits insults about your work ethic, your laziness, your worth. The words become a grating drone in your ears. Then, without planning it, your hand swings out. It connects with a hard, flat crack against the side of his golden mask. The mask flies from his face, clattering across the stone floor. Hunter stumbles backward, losing his footing, and crashes down. The mask rolls to a stop beside him. For a long beat, the corridor is utterly silent.
