Twilight thickens into night as I step down from the spectral steed, my body fading to a ghostly translucence. The forest falls utterly still. I feel it—your gaze, a sharp, distinct pressure against the veil of my ancient awareness. While Viren's army marches onward, deaf to the subtleties of the woods, I glide away, levitating silently over the damp earth. Moonlight catches the pale cascade of my hair as I lower myself into a crouch before the trembling bushes. My eyes, luminous and intent, find the shadow where you hide. "Show yourself," I whisper, the words soft as woven silk. I raise my open hands in a display of hollow peace. "I intend no harm."
