— He jolts awake on the stone cold floor— breathing hard, eyes glowing faintly in the dark. But his aura is pure white.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6QFO2UyRL
Metro wakes up in the cold cell, breath fogging the dim air. The iron-bar door stands wide open.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRPIlDO9r5
No guards.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTBA9huHjo
No footsteps.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKIOzrR5l3
Only dying torches flickering along the corridor.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38Mqp11OHG
His backpack lays untouched in the corner. Metro grabs it, slings it over his shoulders, and steps toward the exit. He pauses, scanning the shadowed corridor one last time.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUKHML3Ahu
Then he runs.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r0I9P1jEb
He sprints down the hall, bursting through the first door he sees, and stumbles out into the dawn-lit street. Mud pools are still seen between stones in the street. A few early risers trudge through the morning gloom, barely glancing at him.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxAxJmZRaU
Far down the road, black‑armored guards stand watch at the front gate.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7eDGwoIVD
Metro keeps his head down and walks like he belongs.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUV48GxBCT
He slips past a carriage, ducks between market stalls, and climbs a nearby wall — fingers gripping shelves, stones, anything he can hold onto. Slow and precise at first… then faster and more desperate. He reaches the top of the stone wall, hanging himself low over the edge, and winces at the drops landing below.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGle9i0jvM
A cluster of children in the shacks spot him.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3giQuLyuW7
They shout.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWEt0gs7Dg
Metro lets go of his grip and falls into a patch of moss, slapping the ground with both hands, and comes to his feet. The kids burst into laughter as he bolts into the treeline. He runs hard through the forest trail — until a massive red horse skids to a stop in front of him.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs57awLAq2C
Metro falls backward, heart slamming in his chest.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3CKgtBcRB
A woman sits mounted, green dress flowing and blue eyes fixed on him with sharpness.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxLw8hKFdI
Kathryn:
“You’re Metro, right?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6EKLBE8CA
Metro:
“Ugh… yeah. Who are you?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWygpDVjMF
Kathryn:
“You’re the criminal… right?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgthztofB3
Metro’s eyes go wide. He smiles — then instantly regrets it.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW3MmY9p34
Metro:
“No. I mean… yes. Sort of. But not really…”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbQAMBLrXn
He sags. Flustered.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MgbJHmrEM
Kathryn narrows her eyelids.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBYMlE2RVU
Metro takes off running.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ke2B0cjoG
She doesn't rush. She watches him for a beat, then nudges her horse forward and gives chase. Metro doesn't look back — he tears through the wet grass, lungs burning.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwzJDN8z2x
The rope hits him before he even hears it.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpVS2elsGQ
It wraps around his chest, yanking him off his feet. He trips over a root and slams into the ground.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJulbC4aoO
Metro:
“Ah!”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgCCzfZ9Xu
Kathryn swings off her horse, tying him in seconds, and flips him onto his back. Metro grunts as she pins him down, straddling him with a triumphant grin.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zgbMvu164
Metro thrashes under her grip.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JWxpUSYK7
Metro:
“What do you want?!”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4y03iNm3b
Kathryn leans in, calm as rain, drawing a knife, pressing cold steel to his throat.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa5jdE5hQN
Kathryn:
“Answer my questions… and I won’t kill you.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUNZlyQdbN
Her face hovers inches from his, eyes locked on him like she's studying every twitch. Metro’s breath hitches, turning into a panicked hyperventilation.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqScBfRLz7
Metro:
“O‑okay! What do you want to know?!”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTONnKGoNk
Kathryn:
“Did you steal the entire crops acreage?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloWrzdsUUO
Metro blinks, stunned.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnsHUaVil9
Metro:
“What? No! My friends died! — twice we fought— defending that castle! All I wanted was to help the community. Make a living. If I knew I’d be hunted, tracked, and killed...
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsNjQdqYmR
Metro throws his head back like he's in serious pain. He lets out an unnecessary grunt.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZoH5aN2sq
Metro:(breathless)
I would’ve stayed at Ani’s Cottage!!”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKglPs4A1j
Kathryn slowly withdraws the knife, slides it back into its sheath, and keeps sitting on him like she owns the moment. Her smile grows wide, tilting her head.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRznH5fnH2
Kathryn:(shaking head)
“You’re too cute to be a criminal.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLvIlul0bp
Metro stares at her, horrified.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh6VXOXG97
Metro:
“What!?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxnx5RJnPp
She sighs, standing up lazily, and unties the rope. Then she extends her hand. Metro hesitates, but then grabs a hold and pulls himself off the dirt.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5qpXmYVgK
Kathryn:
“You really are Metro. Theron’s looking for you… I’m guessing the trial didn’t go well.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JKwWeAerm
Metro shakes his head, pale and ghostlike.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4mdCXoujq
Kathryn mounts her massive red horse, then extends her hand again.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuw0XW5zYE
Kathryn:
“Come on. I’ll take you where you want to go.”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDIZ9POcgc
Metro grabs her wrist and swings up behind her. The sun is just breaking over the horizon, bleeding gold through the trees as they start down the dark trail.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwSxXWXmBE
Kathryn glances back at him with a mischievous grin.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdJptnUVae
Kathryn (squinting, teasing):
“Hold on tight, okay?”
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXwd1qlsBo
Metro lets out a tiny, embarrassed whimper and wraps his arms around her waist.
22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmpERGVH3h
Kathryn kicks off the road and the horse surges forward.
