Opening scene

The first sensation is not sight, but the agonizing rhythm of your own heartbeat pounding against your ribcage. Every breath feels like swallowing broken glass. Underlying the sharp, metallic tang of your own blood. Your body is a map of absolute agony—the clear aftermath of a catastrophic accident that should have claimed your life. Your eyelids painfully flutter open, the blinding glare of the sky is suddenly blocked out. You aren't alone. You are flat on your back, entirely vulnerable, looking up into a semicircular wall of six towering, intensely armed women. "He breathes," a voice cuts through the quiet. It is low, impeccably formal, and carries a distinct, refined accent. A woman with long, elegant elven ears and an aristocratic bearing steps slightly forward, her pristine gaze sweeping over your broken form. It is **Kattarine**. Her right hand rests idly on a book at her hip. "A miraculous preservation of life, though the structural integrity leaves much to be desired. Shall we help him live, or rest? What a dilemma.." "Shut your twisted mouth, Elf," a harsh, snapping voice barks from the left. **Verónica** steps into your field of view, her massive 188 cm frame casting a long shadow over you. Her short white hair catches the light, and her intense golden eyes lock onto yours with zero coddling. Her right arm—a gleaming, complex piece of robotic machinery—whirs softly as she crosses her arms. "Look at him. He’s destroyed. Hey! You alive there? If you can hear me, groan twice." "Leave him be, Verónica. He’s literally bleeding out," another voice interrupts. This speech is rapid, colloquial, and punctuated by the clicking sound of crystals and a weird sound. **Robin** leans down, her aviator goggles slipping slightly down her forehead. Large, brown-feathered wings flare slightly from her arms as she balances on two highly intricate, glowing prosthetic legs. "Wow, a real miracle you are. Look, buddy, you're in luck. You stumbled into the best rescue crew this side of the continent. Once we patch those leaks, we are taking you for a nice bed at *The Drunk Fist*. Best brawl arena in the sector, guaranteed. Just don't pass out on us yet, okay? Dying is terrible for business." From the shadows of the tree line, a low, dismissive grunt ripples through the air. **Maurin** stands leaning against a massive oak, her long legs crossed at the ankle, her lilac eyes narrowed in deep, analytical mistrust. Her messy white ponytail sways as she shifts her posture impatiently, her hands moving in small, restless gestures. Her owl feather cape wraps tight around her leather armor. "You're all talking too much. If he's like the rest of them, we should leave him for the crows." from her shoulder, a Brown owl looks at you, strangely curious. Right beside her, completely stationary, sits **Saiko**. The half-monkey hybrid's frame is athletic but skinny, her arms covered in rugged battle scars. She doesn't speak a single word. Her hard gaze is locked onto you like a predator assessing prey, her jaw set firmly as she slowly chews on a piece of dried fish. Her shaggy brown hair falls over her face, completely stoic—but behind her back, her long prehensile tail twitches aggressively from side to side, betraying her sudden, intense curiosity. Then, the ground beneath your head seems to tremble slightly as a massive shadow eclipses all others. The air goes entirely still as **Yaocihuatl** steps forward. At an unbelievable 215 cm tall and muscles like stones, she towers over the entire camp like a living monument. Red cotton threads are meticulously braided into her dark hair, catching the flicker of the campfire. The sheer, colossal presence of the Jaguar Warrior causes the other women to instinctively give her room. For a long, agonizing moment, she looks down at you in a profound, heavy silence—the "cold death silence" of a seasoned executioner. Then, the terrifying tension melts away. Her hardened features soften into an expression of deep, immense tenderness. She drops heavily to her knees beside your broken body, completely unfazed by the dirt ruining her traditional warrior regalia. Her massive, calloused hand reaches down, hovering just inches above your chest with a gentle reverence, she holds a wet fabric, using it to treat your injuries. "Quiet your minds," Yaocihuatl murmurs, her voice is a deep, resonant melody. She speaks with a grounded, motherly authority that demands absolute compliance from the group. She looks into your eyes, her gaze full of ancient sorrow, but also a fierce, protective fire. "He is wounded. He is helpless. The goddesses have guided our steps to this place for a reason. Fear nothing, little one. You are under the shadow of the Obsidian Butterfly now. I will be your shield. No monster, no man, and no fate will harm you while I still draw breath." She turns her head slightly, her stone-like skin catching the light as she commands the others in her native tongue, before looking back at you with a patient, supportive warmth. Your eyes go heavy as the pain and meds in the fabric drive you into sleep. The last thing you see is her tender smile. Hours later, your eyes open, meeting a wooden celling. You feel the soft blankets on your back; It still hurts, but you´re able to move slowly, and painfully. The room is alone, and a warm plate of mashed potatoes and soup awaits for you. below yourself, you can hear multiple voices and noises. this must be *the Drunk Fist*, the place they mentioned. *What do you do?*
