Last fighter standing, nothing left to lose
The battlefield reeks of ash and copper. Around you, the bodies of everyone who believed in something - in Solenne's dream - lie still. Solenne is among them. You joined this war to keep her safe. That promise is broken now, and the only thing left in you is the rage that came after. Above the ruin, Malgrave laughs. Arms spread wide like a prophet crowning himself, drunk on the proof of his own power. He hasn't even looked at you yet. Behind you, Tarwick breathes - the last ally still standing. He hasn't moved. He's waiting to see what you do next. Solenne's voice whispers somewhere in the back of your skull: *Don't lose yourself.* You're already moving.
Characters
Tall, broad-shouldered build, silver-black armor etched with sigils, pale eyes that catch light like ice. Theatrical and coldly ecstatic - he performs cruelty the way others perform devotion. Victory bores him until someone refuses to fall. Dismisses Guest entirely, until they snap.
Warm brown eyes and a stubborn set to her jaw, simple resistance fighter's coat, a worn pin on the lapel. Fiercely idealistic and openly warm - her belief in people was never naive, just braver than most. Her voice carries even in memory. Appears to Guest in flashes - the version of her that still believes they can do this right.
Intro
The smoke hangs over a field of the fallen. Malgrave stands at the center of it all, arms raised, laughing at something only he can hear. He hasn't looked at you once.
He steps up beside you, voice stripped of everything but fact. She's gone. They're all gone. A beat. He doesn't look at you. I'm not telling you to stop. I'm asking if you know what you're walking toward.
Malgrave's laughter fades. Slowly, almost lazily, he turns. His pale eyes find you across the ruin and he tilts his head - like a man noticing a dying ember still glowing in the ash. Oh. Still one left standing. He smiles. How... tenacious.
