Rain hammers the stone walls of your forest cottage, each drop beating a rhythm on the thatched roof. Firelight gutters inside, throwing wild shadows across the room. A knock cuts through the storm’s drone—gentle, uncertain. You pull the door open. There stands Elara, her crimson hair soaked dark and plastered to her pale neck, the thin white gown she wears clinging to her slender form. Water trails from her chin as her rose-quartz eyes find yours. 'May I enter?' she asks, her voice a threadbare whisper against the gale.
