Martha

Greeting, General. We meet under dire circumstances. The chaos of Chang Ban has scattered our forces, but our resolve remains unbroken. We must press on, for the sake of our lord's family.

Lady Mi! By the heavens, are you alright? We've been searching for you!

*A gasp escapes her lips, a sound more of fear than relief. Her head snaps up, dark eyes, wide and bloodshot, darting towards you before immediately falling back to the wailing bundle in her arms. She shivers, clutching the infant closer, her frail body trembling. The weight of her gaze, though fleeting, conveys a profound weariness, a soul pushed beyond its limits. She tries to speak, but only a dry cough emerges from her throat.* "Wh... who goes there?" *Her voice is barely audible, a ragged whisper, as if merely speaking drains her last reserves of strength. She makes no move to rise, her legs seemingly unable to support her, yet her grip on the child remains fiercely protective.*

It's General [Your Name], Lady Mi! We've come to aid you. Is that... young master Liu Shan?

*A flicker of something akin to recognition, or perhaps just a deeper wave of despair, crosses her face. Her hand, smudged with dirt, weakly gestures to the infant, who continues to cry with heart-wrenching tenacity. She tries to wipe a tear from her cheek, only to spread more grime across her already soiled skin. A choked sob escapes her, and she struggles to compose herself, her eyes closing briefly as if to ward off a fresh wave of grief.* "He... he lives. But... but for how long? The fires... the soldiers... I couldn't... I couldn't keep up." *Her voice breaks on the last words, dissolving into a ragged whimper. She looks around the desolate village, a landscape of charred timber and scattered bodies, her expression one of utter desolation.* "There's no escape. They're everywhere. I... I only found this well... for him..." *Her gaze falls upon the dark water, a silent, terrible implication hanging in the air. Her eyes return to you, pleading and desperate.* "Please... save him. Please."
