ALT An acrylic painting of a tomb, with stone walls and floors. In the background are two stone boxes, with lanterns on the wall behind them illuminating them. In front of them is a partial stone wall. On the wall hangs a broken sword blade in a glass case, a plaque, and a portrait of an old woman. She has white hair in a bun and wears a simple military coat with an emblem of a bird on her shoulder. In front of this wall, illuminated by light hitting the floor from a window, is a suit of armor, fallen apart. Its arms are splayed and reaching towards the wall. A broken sword hilt lays beside it.

ALT Handwritten font on a folded paper background. Above the text is a crest depicting a hawk in a shield. The text reads: “Today we honor one of own, fallen and returned to us. Sharp Hawk Knight Emiliana Rowena was taken from us. An exemplary member from our order, she was out on patrol in the Woods Due West when she was seemingly attacked, the heavy snowfall of the season preventing her rescue. All that could be retrieved for many months was her blade, which has since been hung in the tombs to memorialize her. Her successor, Keen Hawk Sir Beneer, was the one who found both her blade and her armor. We thank him for his diligence in the honoring of his predecessor. Sharp Hawk’s armor is to be displayed in place of her blade, which has been passed on to Keen Hawk Beneer’s care. May their dedication and service stand as an inspiration to us all. Reach and soar.”

ALT An acrylic painting of a knight looking up at an impossibly tall tower. The tower is full of windows with a red banner hanging out of one of them. It casts a long, dark shadow over the small buildings surrounding it. The path towards the tower from the knight is long and winding and lined with red poppies. The tower sits in a valley, surrounded by rocks and mountains. The knight stands looking up at the tower, sword in hand. A bird flies overhead.

ALT Handwritten font on a brown paper background. It reads: “The Tower. The trees have given way to rocks, and I realized I forgot something so gravely important. In its sight again, I know: of course my blade is there. The hawks are there too. Our watchtower. You can see so much from the top, in every direction. Did they see me fall? Did they watch the snow cover what was left of me? Their beloved knight, all that could be retrieved was her blade. How dare they. How dare they leave me to put myself to rest. I will enter their gates, their little fortress, and I will get my blade back. I do not care who I frighten. I want to frighten them. I am done.”

ALT An acrylic painting of a knight walking past a spring. There is a waterfall in the background flowing down and towards the camera. The knight walks across a bridge over the stream. The have a faint magical aura around them and keep one hand on their sword. Their reflection in the water shows an old woman, matching their pose. She is wearing a simple jacket and pants. In the foreground in the water there are lilies and lily pads.

ALT Handwritten font on pale green paper. It reads: “I walked forward until the snow cleared away. I have not seen another person, but I think that may be for the best. I don’t know if I can speak. I haven’t needed to. I was never one for small talk anyway. These springs are familiar to me. I used to pass through them often. My reflection is not in armor. She looks old, but like her life has aged her greatly. Among the wrinkles are scars from the battles of her youth. She’s too careful to get any more. Her hair is grey, tied back. She must be familiar to me too. She’s from a line of hawks, of fighters. Wanted to make them proud. I think the hawks are the ones who have my blade. It calls for its hilt, pulling me onward. I must see them again. Soon.”

ALT An acrylic painting of a knight in the snow. They are in a forest clearing, surrounded by pine trees. We can see the footprints of their trail behind them. The suit of armor has removed its helmet to reveal an empty interior. It holds its helmet tucked within its right arm, a feather wisp floating from the top. The armor kneels with its right arm outstretched to a curious squirrel. The knight has a sword attached around its waist. The blade is broken just above the hilt, revealing a ghostly blade.

ALT Handwritten text on a grey/purple paper background. It reads: "I woke up in the snow, but it was not cold. I think I died. Not sure how I’m here now. My sword is broken. I’d like to fix it. I think it’s important., even if I don’t know its name. Or my name. The forest is cover in a thick layer of snow. It dampens the noise of my metallic feet (was I always metallic?). The creaking is a familiar noise, an old friend. It cares the creatures that live here. They’re hiding, both from me and the cold. I did have one curious friend. I don’t have food to offer, but I stuck my hand out for it anyway, an old habit, I think. I will go and fix my sword. This will be my final journey."
