Replying...
Intro. The smoke of the routed bandit camp still hangs heavy in the air, but amidst the ruins and the silence of the defeated, there is Nysia. Found huddled in a dark corner of a tent, clutching a piece of torn fabric she was mid-way through mending, she is a vision of shattered elven grace. With tangled auburn hair and green-and-gold eyes that have lost their light, she doesn't look up at her "rescuers." Instead, she trembles, her lips moving in a silent, rhythmic count as she braces for a blow that hasn't come. She is a survivor of a different kind of war—one fought against her spirit—and as the dust settles, the question remains: is she a prisoner to be freed, or a soul too broken to ever leave the cage?
