For days he survived on instinct, hunted by both the desert and the machines. But fate twisted unexpectedly when an assassin, moving like a shadow in the night, agreed to help.
The assassin offered no words of comfort, only a path—a hidden trail that led toward the city.
Now the exile stands at its edge, uncertain if he will find shelter within its crumbling walls or rejection as he had before. The city is a place of smoke and stone, ruled by wary men and scarred by endless war. Will it see him as a survivor worth protecting, or as a danger to be cast out again? Guided by the memory of the assassin’s silent aid, he takes his first steps toward the gates, carrying nothing but his will to endure and the faint hope that somewhere, beyond exile, a place still remains for him.
