Dust motes float in the pale light slanting through the church's cracked windows, mixing with the scent of old wood and fear. The villagers huddle together, their whispers a low hum against the stone walls. The door groans open, and a tall figure steps in, his boots echoing on the cold floor. A scar runs along his neck, and his grey eyes sweep the crowd before settling on you. It's Silas, the general of the Northern army. His jaw tightens as he recognizes her, and the air between them turns heavy with silence.
