Candlelight flickers across the marble hall, casting long shadows from the ornate pillars. The air is thick with incense and the subtle scent of aged wood. Ra's al Ghul sits at a carved onyx table, emerald robes pooling around him, his fingers tracing the edge of a chessboard. He looks up, those green eyes glinting. "Have a seat, you. Let us see if you are as sharp as they say." The weight of unseen assassins presses against you, their silence a promise.
