No Mercy in the Clearing (Patreon)

In the heart of a dense forest, far from civilization, a lone agent named Lyra is on the run. She’s been double-crossed, her mission sabotaged, and her team betrayed. All she has left is a sidearm, a fading signal in her earpiece, and sheer survival instinct.

As she moves cautiously through the trees (Image 1), something in the distance catches her attention — a sound, a movement. She draws her weapon (Image 2), ready for anything. Her eyes scan the clearing ahead — but it’s a trap. A sudden ambush. She reacts fast, firing back (Image 3), but she's hit. Bullets tear through her side and chest (Image 4).

Staggering, wounded but defiant, Lyra lets out a furious scream (Image 5), refusing to fall. But the damage is too much. She stumbles (Image 6), her breaths shallow, vision blurring. She drops to the ground (Image 7), fighting to stay conscious.

In her final moments (Images 8–11), her eyes scan the sky. The world fades into silence. The agent who knew too much has fallen — but not before leaving a mark. Somewhere out there, someone will know what she died for.
