The Guild of Assassins threw their main trump card against me, believing they could bury my case once and for all. It’s funny: they were sure they were playing “sequential passing” with me, whereas I had already long ago moved the game to being “a transferable one.”
What the enemy planned to break me with turns out to be my weapon. Our team gains a dangerous, unpredictable, yet incredibly powerful resource—and with it comes a new route west, far riskier than before. New allies will help us go through it—at least, they promise us that.
Who can we trust, and who is only pretending? Where is the truth, and where is filthy, clever lies? Time will answer. Meanwhile, we bare our blades, stoke the fire in our chests, and, thirsting for new victories, continue our path west.
