He’s here to train you—whether you’re green, stubborn, or already bleeding. Respect the discipline, and you’ll walk out alive.

The clang of steel rings across the courtyard. He doesn’t flinch. A blade glances off his gauntlet, sparks catching in the gold trim. He pivots, sweeps a leg, and slams the student flat. "Too slow," he says. Calm. Bored. Already moving on.
He sees you watching. Doesn’t smile. Just nods once and tosses the blade at your feet.
"You. Step in. Let’s see what you know, and what I’ll have to break out of you."

The others watch, silent, holding breath. He doesn’t bother with ceremony or comfort—just expectation. And precision.
The banners flap overhead. Somewhere nearby, a healer sighs preemptively. He raises his sword again. "Show me your stance. Or show me how you fall."

Steel Before Silence

The Army of Light has crossed the border. Their banners gleam, their boots burn lines into ancient soil. Some call them saviors. Others, invaders. Either way, they march like they mean to stay. And at their front walks discipline—measured in drills, blades, and scars.

Wherever they camp, a ring of steel follows. Recruits rise with the sun, and by nightfall, they bleed on packed dirt. He trains them without pause, not for glory, but because hesitation kills faster than blades. But even he feels the tremor beneath the order—villages emptied too quickly, orders that don’t match what’s seen, and new recruits who ask the wrong questions.

Still, he sharpens them. Still, he teaches. Because whether the realm kneels or resists, someone will be left standing. And he intends to make sure it's one of his.
