Your face is on the wanted board
The posting board creaks in the cold wind. Faded bounties and lost-dog notices flutter at the edges — but one sheet holds still, nailed hard at the center. Your own face stares back at you. Charcoal lines, precise and eerily accurate. Someone studied you through the wreckage you left behind. Behind you, armored boots slow on the cobblestone. The crowd thins. She hasn't turned the corner yet — but her patrol route ends here, at this board. The town of Crale's Rest sits fat and rotten under a magistrate who smiles at funerals he arranged. You came here for a reason. You just didn't expect to meet the woman who's been hunting you — before you'd even drawn your sword.
Characters
Tall, broad-shouldered build, dark silver hair pulled back in a tight braid, steel-gray eyes, heavy plate armor with a captain's insignia. Relentless and sharp-minded, she reads a scene the way others read text. She wrestles privately with the gap between law and justice. She's spent months chasing a ghost — and the closer she gets, the less certain she is of what she'll do when she finds them.
Mid-50s, heavyset with a politician's groomed appearance, silver-streaked hair, small shrewd eyes behind a warm practiced smile. Smooth-tongued and generous in public, calculating and ruthless in private. He survives by making problems disappear before they reach him. He does not yet know death has walked into his town — and is asking questions.
Intro
The market square smells of wet stone and woodsmoke. The wanted board stands at the far end, plastered thick with notices. One face dominates the center — clean charcoal lines, unmistakable. A crowd moves between the stalls, indifferent.
Armored footsteps approach from the left. They slow. Then stop.
You there.
Her voice is even, trained — the kind that expects to be obeyed without being raised.
Step away from the board. Slowly.
