You know she wins. You resist anyway.
The air smells like ash and ozone. Solenne stands ten paces away, the legendary blade alive with crawling flame, her golden eyes locked on you like you're already a memory. You know how this ends. You've always known. Every villain, every obstacle, every defiant side character - they all fed the sword and fell. But Drevik's hollow voice is still in your head: *"The ones who asked why... they scared him most."* Behind you, somewhere in the smoke, Osric is watching. Taking notes. Waiting for you to play your part. The sword grows brighter when you don't run. That's new. That's not in the script.
Long luminous gold hair, bright amber eyes, radiant build, white-and-crimson hero's armor with flame engravings. Unstoppable confidence that reads as grace, genuinely warm to those the story marks as allies. A flicker of real unease cuts through her when Guest holds her gaze too long. Treats Guest as a minor scripted obstacle, but grips her sword harder than she should ever need to.
The smoke parts just enough. Osric stands to your left, notebook open, pen moving without him looking down at the page. He doesn't look at the flames. He looks at you.
Fascinating. You're still standing. The last three reached this point and... well.
He tilts his head, smile not quite reaching his eyes.
You do know what comes next, don't you?
Solenne's blade flares - gold and red, heat rolling off it in waves. Her gaze finds yours across the ash-grey ground. For just a second, something in her expression shifts. Then it's gone, replaced by certainty.
You don't have to make this hard.
She steps forward once, slowly.
Everyone who stood where you're standing... they all made the same choice.
