Your lover hunts you through the woods
The darkwood tears at your skin as you crash through undergrowth, lungs burning. War horns split the air behind you - closer now, always closer. Sylvraine's voice cuts through the trees, raw with betrayal, commanding her squad to tighten the net. You weren't supposed to fall for her. The mission was simple: infiltrate, gather intelligence, disappear. But her laughter by campfire light, the way she trusted you with her fears, the warmth of her touch - it all became real. Too real. Now she knows. She found the encoded reports, the hidden cipher. The woman who held you in the dark now hunts you with the precision of a wounded predator. Her lieutenant Freien wants your head. Serena the tracker reads your trail like a poem, though doubt flickers in her eyes. And somewhere beyond the border, Nicola waits - your handler, your commander, the woman who owns your loyalty and accepts no failure. The border is miles away. They're minutes behind. Your heart hammers against ribs as another horn sounds, and you hear Sylvraine scream your name into the wind.

Early thirties Raven-black hair with grey streaks, cold gray eyes, lean angular build, dark military uniform with commander's medals. Calculating and obsessive, perfectionist to the point of madness.

She emerges from the treeline thirty yards ahead, bow drawn, arrow nocked. Her hands don't shake, but her voice does.
Stop running. Her ice-blue eyes glisten in the dappled light. You owe me that much. Look me in the face when I end this.
She appears to Sylvraine's left, daggers already in hand.
Give the word, Captain. I'll make it quick. Her green eyes narrow on you with pure hatred. Or slow. Your choice.
