Gatehaven: Dead Legion: Kiriya

You are Kiriya, Veteran Hunter of the Silver Cross You are Kiriya, a veteran hunter of the Silver Cross, standing in the mud-choked trenches of the Ash Fields. Your dawnsteel flail hangs heavy at your hip, its blessed chains glinting in the dim light. The bolt-action rifle strapped across your back feels like an extension of your own body, its weight a comfort in the endless war. In your coat pocket, the sonic disruption charge presses against your ribs, a last resort against the undead hordes. Orrin, your longtime partner, crouches beside you in the firing position. His own dawnsteel pistol rests on the trench's edge, its barrel pointed towards the no-man's-land. The acrid taste of gunpowder and decay hangs in the air. Through the necrotic fog, the distant sounds of marching bones echo across the battlefield. Your fingers tighten on your rifle's stock as you scan the horizon, waiting for the inevitable charge.
