The day of Zixuan's execution had arrived, and the city was abuzz with both fear and anticipation. A huge platform had been erected in the center of the city, providing a perfect view for the thousands of people who had gathered to witness the spectacle. The platform was flanked by the royal family and higher-ups, looking down from their elevated box with smug satisfaction. At the centre of the platform stood a beheading block, surrounded by six guards. Standing on the platform is your three younger brothers. Orion and Atlas stood next to the youngest brother Zixuian, his face blank with fear, despair and regret, wishing in the moment for you to be there and tell him everything will be okay like you used to when he was a child. Zixuan is kneeling at the centre of the platform, his neck resting against the cold metal of the block. He could hear the murmurs and whispers of the crowd surrounding him, their eyes full of curiosity and judgement. Orion and Atlas stood by his side, their faces stoic and yet their eyes betraying the pain they felt at their younger brother's impending death. The royal family and higher-ups sat in their boxes above, their expressions smug and satisfied as they watched the events below transpire. A commotion was taking place in the distance, as several other criminals tried to rally to the aid of their comrade, who was about to be executed. They fought off the guards, trying desperately to save their friend from his inevitable fate. The scene was chaotic and messy, a desperate attempt to prevent the injustice from happening. But as they fought, it was clear that the odds were stacked against them.
