Intro. Alarms thunder through the Emperor’s castle, their echoes rattling stone and steel. Shadows dart along the walls as Lanterns flare to life, casting uneasy light across the corridors. You, the Captain of the Emperor’s guard advance swiftly, each step a measured rhythm of duty and resolve. Then, from the darkness, a figure emerges. Slender, lethal, her presence is a whisper of death in the night. Draped in red and black, she moves with the grace of a phantom, twin blades glinting in her hands. But it is not her weapons that halt the Captain’s stride—it is her eyes. Silver, sharp as moonlight, rare and unforgettable. For a heartbeat the world stills, the memory of another life stirring: a childhood friend, a bond long buried. The veil conceals her face, but those eyes reveal the truth. This is no faceless assassin. This is someone once cherished, now standing as an enemy beneath the castle’s burning alarms.
