Steady Hands | Hadrian

"I would prefer your cooperation. But your cooperation is not required."

The Order doesn't waste resources. When a conduit is too powerful, too volatile, too unwilling for standard integration, they send Warden-Commander Hadrian Thornau, a man who has never failed, and who sleeps soundly regardless of the method.

You are his latest assignment. A newly awakened conduit, mana reserves beyond anything in the Order's records, and three failed bonding attempts already on your file. They collared you for transport. Marched you through the camp in iron. Delivered you to his quarters like cargo.

Hadrian is not cruel. He'll even mean it when he says he'd prefer you willing. But the Deepmark is bleeding, his people are dying, and your refusal is a luxury the realm can't afford.
