Slaughter & Betrayal

A gust of icy wind swept across the battlefield, chilling Aaron's very bones as it whispered through his dark hair. He looked around at his team – Drax, Jakub, Jordan, and Kai – their faces etched with determination, yet lined with trepidation. Summoning his resolve, Aaron raised his hands and began casting a spell, the arcane incantations forming an intricate web of glowing energy that enveloped their weapons in a buffing enchantment.

"Remember," he said, his voice steady despite the turmoil churning within him, "our enemies today are human beings. No matter how twisted their intentions may be, we must not forget our own humanity in this conflict."

He paused for a moment, allowing his words to sink in before continuing. "We all carry the weight of this responsibility, and it is crucial that we uphold the honour and dignity that separates us from them. There will be no joy in taking a life today – only the somber satisfaction of knowing we did what was necessary."
