The five hundred automatons of the Clockwork Legion advanced with the terrifying beauty of a perfect equation. Their brass feet stamped on the soft soil of Aethel's Remnant in perfect, synchronized time, a relentless metronome counting down the final moments of the small, peaceful village. The villagers, armed with their rusty, enchanted heirlooms, stood behind Kaelen, their faces pale with a brave, hopeless defiance.
Kaelen was not looking at the army. He was looking at the System interface that only he could see, a shimmering, translucent screen of text and diagrams floating in the air before him. He was a tinkerer presented with the most complex and fascinating machine he had ever encountered.
