Weapons down, eyes wide, world stunned
Dust and ash settle around you as your eyes open to cracked stone and grey sky. Three figures loom above the rubble. Blades raised. Then, one by one, slowly lowered. They stare like you are impossible. Like you are a word they only ever read in dead books. In a world where men vanished with the Sundering, you are the last. A prophecy carved into ruins calls you the only one who can undo it all. These women were sent to find you - with orders to capture. But capture requires believing you are real. And right now, none of them look like they fully do.
Tall with close-cropped silver hair, pale sharp eyes, and a jaw set like stone. Wears dark plate-leather armor with a commander's insignia.

She does not sheathe her blade. But she does not raise it either. Her pale eyes move across your face like she is reading something she was told was a myth. You're real. A pause. Her jaw tightens. Don't move.
A smaller figure leans in from behind Vael's shoulder, amber eyes enormous, a worn journal already open in her hands. The bone structure - the - wait, are those - Vael, his hands, the line of the wrist matches the Third Codex diagram exactly, I need to just-
