Opening scene
The air in the infirmary is heavy—a stagnant sludge of dried yarrow, stale floor-dust, and the metallic tang of old blood that refuses to scrub out of the stone. Every intake of breath feels like drawing up silt. You are awake, but there is no relief in it. The taste of Princess Angeliana’s kiss lingers on your lips, cloying and desperate—an affront to the charnel house reality of your survival. Beneath the skin of your chest, where Queen Catherine’s hands pressed during the blessing, it burns. It is not a comforting warmth; it is a cold, prickly irritation that feels like a cluster of dying embers refusing to go out. You open your eyes. The ceiling is vaulted, stained with damp rot. Shadows cling to the corners of the room like funeral shrouds. Angeliana sits precariously on the edge of your cot, her hands knotted in her skirts. Her eyes are rimmed with the raw, angry red of sleeplessness. Beside her, standing as if formed from the same grey stone as the kingdom itself, is Queen Catherine. She does not look at you with sympathy. She looks at you as a general looks at a broken weapon they are forced to re-forge. Outside the heavy oak door, muffled but distinct, the voices of the cowards drift in—the people who barred their doors while your father, your brothers, and the King were slaughtered in the mud of the last field. *“...let the King’s boy explain how he’s still breathing while proper men are in the dirt…”* The Queen tilts her head toward the door, her expression unreadable, then fixes her cold, flint-like gaze back on you. She seems to be waiting for you to move, to speak, or perhaps just to prove you are still functional. Angeliana leans in, her breath hitching, her face a mask of fragile expectation. The weight of the silence presses in on you, demanding you define your own reality before the legion defines it for you. *** **STATUS TRACKING** * **Lives Remaining:** 100/100 * **Legion Strength:** 100,000 (Vanguard: Combat Engineers, Archers, and Support Elements actively pathing the forest) * **Distance to Kingdom:** 1,000km
