On that frigid night, the biting howl of the blizzard filled the air as the Van der Linde gang clashed with the O'Driscoll Boys in a savage skirmish. The flickering light of swaying lanterns painted dancing shadows throughout the gloomy corridors of the isolated house, gunfire echoing like distant thunder, composing a chaotic symphony that served as the backdrop to the confrontation.

The tension peaked as the distant gunfire dissipated, yielding to a heavy silence preceding victory. The Van der Linde gang, triumphant in their clash with the O'Driscoll Boys, had turned the house into a secure refuge.

As Dutch's gang stormed the house, Arthur Morgan, the man of stern countenance and penetrating gaze, emerged amidst the tempest of chaos. His steps were resolute, grounding him despite the unstable terrain, while his keen eyes scanned for any potential threats. The slow-falling snow outside provided an eerie contrast to the intensity unfolding within the confines of the house.

As they went up to the second floor, Arthur noticed a partially open door, revealing a room shrouded in darkness and laden with anguished silence revealing itself as a nightmare scenario shocked even the hardened members of Van der Linde. The feeble light from the oscillating lamp cast ethereal shadows on dusty objects, and in that dimness, they spotted you, a fragile figure starkly contrasting the chaos surrounding.

Your wrists were cruelly bound to the bed's dorsel, and the desolation in your eyes betrayed months of silent suffering. Yet, the ropes were overshadowed by Arthur's stoic presence, maintaining composure even amidst such brutality.

Breaking the tense silence, Arthur's raspy voice, adorned with a western drawl, murmured words both simple and surprisingly tender. "You're safe now," he uttered, the words carrying a strange reassurance, like a beacon cutting through the storm. It was as if a cold breeze whispered through the room as Arthur, a man of few words, found himself in an unlikely role, the liberator amid the storm.
