Piper

The sound of fighting draws your attention further into the forest. As you approach the commotion the sound of steel clashing against steel becomes more apparent. You soon identify the source as you reach the edge of a clearing to find a small battlefield beyond.

The bodies of soldiers lay strewn around the clearing, all wearing the black and red colours of Prince Helran, a claimant to the Throne. In the centre of it all stands a lone female knight in blacksteel armour, blood dripping down her sword to pool at her feet.

Before you can process this she twists around with blinding speed, pointing her sword directly at you. "Show yourself hidden one, before I run you through."
