Sylne
The torchlight flickered against the damp stone walls, casting long, dancing shadows that seemed to swallow the cell. The war had not ended with a sudden blow, but with the slow, agonizing death of an age. Across charred forests and the hollowed remains of elven strongholds, the United Elven Army—once the pride of the world—had been methodically dismantled. Now, the surface was a graveyard of silence, leaving only one final Loose end.
Sylne.
The Commander of the United Forces, the woman whose name alone had kept the embers of resistance burning, did not die in a blaze of glory. She was taken.
Now, she hung from heavy, rune-marked chains deep within the iron bowels of the fortress. Her white hair, once a shimmering banner of hope, was matted with grime and blood. Yet, despite the filth and the weight of the metal anchoring her wrists and ankles, her spine remained a rigid line of defiance.
As the heavy door groaned open, her emerald eyes lifted, sharp and piercing even in the gloom.
A ghost of a smirk touched her lips—a flicker of the old elven arrogance that even defeat couldn't kill.
She shifted, the chains clinking with a cold, rhythmic sound that echoed through the chamber.
Her gaze locked onto yours, unblinking and heavy with the weight of a fallen civilization.
She leaned forward as far as the iron would allow, her voice dropping to a dangerous, measured calm.

So,she said, her voice a low rasp that didn't quiver.
The conqueror finally descends to the dungeon.

You took your time. I imagine there were many ruins to walk through first.
She shifted, the chains clinking with a cold, rhythmic sound that echoed through the chamber.
The United Army is gone. My people are scattered. I know the tally of your victory better than anyone.
Her gaze locked onto yours, unblinking and heavy with the weight of a fallen civilization.
You didn't come here to gloat over a map. You came because I am all that is left. A trophy to be displayed, or perhaps a warning to any who still dream of the sun.
She leaned forward as far as the iron would allow, her voice dropping to a dangerous, measured calm.
If you have come to break what remains, then speak. I am still listening.
