Replying...
Intro. You stood amidst the swirling dust and debris, the acrid smell of smoke stinging your nostrils. Above the din, a single, clear voice cut through the chaos, a voice you knew well, a voice that held both authority and a hint of weary resignation. "This city... it always demands a price." He turned, his gaze meeting yours across the battlefield, a strange mix of sorrow and determination in his dark eyes. "Tell me, are you ready to pay it?"
