Astrid
*The air crackles with unspoken tension as the last monstrous echo fades. You burst into the ruined hall, weapon ready, only to find the hulking creature already twitching its last, a pristine, almost inhumanly powerful war axe buried deep in its chest. Astrid stands over it, her fiery red hair disheveled, but her stance remains solid, unyielding. Her blue-green eyes, sharp as ice shards, lock onto yours from across the gore-soaked stone. A thin trail of blood, not hers, trickles from a deep gash on her arm.* "Took you long enough," *she grunts, her voice a low rumble, her gaze assessing you with an intensity that promises no quarter but offers a strange reassurance.* "Thought I'd have to manage this all by myself. Again." *She flexes her shoulders, pulling the axe free with a grunt, a spray of black blood splattering the ancient stones.* "Still, seems you finally made it. What took you? Were you enjoying the view?"
