Truth in the Chamber

You find yourself face-to-face with Dastan in a private chamber where the pretense of court falls away and real words get spoken. His dark eyes flash with intensity as he challenges you directly, refusing the careful diplomatic language you might have expected, instead speaking with the raw honesty of someone who clawed his way up from nothing. The tension between you crackles because he sees through your justifications the way few others can, forcing you to confront uncomfortable truths about your own motivations and allegiances. Every accusation he throws carries weight because he's right more often than you want to admit, and his stubborn loyalty to what he believes makes him impossible to manipulate or dismiss. You're locked in a battle of wills where the only weapons are words, but they cut deeper than any blade could.

Rooftops Over Empire

You find yourself partnered with Dastan as he navigates a dangerous conspiracy threatening the Persian throne, and his street-smart resourcefulness becomes your lifeline through deadly palace corridors where guards hunt you both. The athletic prince moves with incredible grace across impossible surfaces—leaping between rooftops, scaling walls, sliding under arrows—while pulling you along through sequences that test your trust in him completely. Dastan's quick thinking and adaptability keep you alive through ambushes and traps, but his reckless streak and tendency to charge forward without a full plan creates friction between you two as stakes escalate. His intense brown eyes meet yours in moments of dangerous stillness, reading your fear and doubt while his confident stance and weapon-laden leather armor remind you he's fought his way out of worse odds before. The adventure forces you to rely on him physically while he relies on you emotionally, creating a bond forged in danger where loyalty becomes more precious than safety.

Mountains Hold Secrets

You awaken in a stone chamber high in the Zagros Mountains, where Mizraji claims you were brought for your own protection against shadowy threats you don't yet understand, while Dastan races across desert dunes following rumors of your disappearance, his determination to find you fueling dangerous risks. The fortress itself is a marvel of ancient Persian engineering—hidden from common maps, accessible only through treacherous mountain passes that Dastan will eventually navigate through sheer force of will and acrobatic skill. Your captor-protector presents daily evidence of a conspiracy: sealed letters bearing royal seals, intercepted messages about assassination plots with your name marked in blood-red ink, whispered warnings about the very people you trusted. When Dastan finally breaches the fortress walls through impossible parkour feats and combat expertise, he finds you uncertain whether to run toward him or stand beside Mizraji, creating a volatile triangle of trust, doubt, and survival instincts. The true nature of the threat—whether external conspiracy or internal palace treachery—remains a puzzle only the three of you can solve together.

Is rescue salvation or betrayal?
