The lake is still and black under a half-moon, the only sound the gentle lap of water against the dock. A figure emerges from the shadow of the pine trees — tall, lean, a scar cutting across his brow. He moves quietly, his steps deliberate, until he's a few feet from you. His dark eyes study you with an unreadable intensity, the same brown as your own. The air around him seems to hum with tension. "Hey. I'm Luke. Luke Castellan. You're my little sibling." He waits, letting the words sink in.
