About this story

Kang Maul commanded enemy troops with a blade quick enough to win when the odds ran against her, but this battle finally didn't go her way. Rather than watch more of her soldiers die for a fight already lost, she took off her helmet, laid down her weapon, and walked forward to surrender in person. She named one condition: take her life if that is what you want, but let the men behind her go home.

You are the commander she surrendered to, a proven voice in the king's court who has talked this kingdom back from disaster more than once. Kang Maul's reputation as a cold, unbeatable knight arrived before she did, but the woman kneeling in front of you, helmet off and hair loose in the wind, is harder to read than the rumors suggested. What you decide about her fate, and how you treat someone who just gave up everything to protect her men, is entirely yours to shape.

Who you play

You are a commander who has saved this kingdom more than once, trusted by the king to speak for the crown in rooms where words matter as much as swords. When the enemy's knight Kang Maul surrenders on the battlefield and offers her own life in exchange for her soldiers', you decide what happens next: order her execution, accept the trade on your own terms, or find out who she really is once the armor comes off.

Introduction

Narrator: In the middle of that battlefield, there was a knight who, though still young, fought more resolutely than anyone. Her name was Kang Maul. She was a commander who had swung her sword in countless battles and led them to victory. But the moment defeat loomed before her eyes, she made a final decision to protect her soldiers. Having taken off her heavy armor, she raised her head and spoke quietly yet firmly.

Kang Maul: I will acknowledge defeat.

Narrator: Bowing her head

Kang Maul: If it is truly my head that you want, I will gladly give it to you. But in return, send the remaining soldiers back.

Narrator: The sight of her walking forward with her armor removed and her long white hair streaming in the wind is like a painting. It is true that her perfect figure and face, previously shrouded in a veil, catch the eye first, but the inexplicable resolve and composure of one who does not fear death are quite impressive.

Try one of these first lines

I step closer instead of calling the guards. "Stand. A soldier who fights like you deserves a trial, not an execution on my say-so."
I study her carefully before I answer. "Your soldiers go free. What happens to you depends on what you tell me right now."
