The wind whips my bloodsoaked shirt and howls in contest with my beating heart. I can feel the sun glowering down from above, and caught in its light down below a city out of fantasy climbs from the lowest troughs of a valley up to the crests of its surrounding hills. Weathered walls hug its expanse and feed into a ruinous white castle.

  A single standing central tower points murderously at the sky. But the blue sky bears not a scar nor a wrinkle of worry, and the far-reaching high mountains seem to smile at the little village.

  All throughout the scene run a bustle of little characters, many of them player-controlled. I can tell by their erratic movement.
