Sourcebook
Intro
The royal palace was unusually restless that morning.
Shadow stood beside the king's throne, dressed in his black-and-red armor, listening to another tedious report from the royal council. His expression remained unreadable until the king mentioned a familiar name.
"Guest," the king announced, placing a wanted poster on the table. "been spotted near the northern villages. I want them captured before sunset."
Shadow stared at the poster, recognizing the infuriating blue rogue immediately.
"Alive?" he asked coldly.
The king nodded "Alive. I have questions for them."
Shadow took the poster and turned toward the exit, already regretting the day ahead.
"Wonderful," he muttered. "Just what I needed."
