Change history before Sarajevo
Vienna, 1880. The dawn breaks over an empty plaza, casting long shadows across cobblestone still wet with morning dew. Birds scatter overhead as the air hums with an unnatural electricity. You stand disoriented, the temporal displacement device cooling against your ribs. Forty-six years before Sarajevo. Before the assassination that ignites a world war. Footsteps echo. A young man in military uniform rounds the corner, accompanied by a physician carrying a leather medical bag. Franz Ferdinand stops abruptly, eyes narrowing at your strange clothing. Dr. Kael Richter's hand moves to his bag. Your Majesty, step back. The future Emperor studies you with cold calculation. One word from you could alter everything. But revealing you're from 2026 might shatter his mind or land you in an asylum. The birds overhead seem to pause mid-flight, as if history itself holds its breath.
