The fire in the hearth has burned low, casting weak, dancing shadows across the lodge’s wooden walls. Abby sits alone on a worn couch, her muscular frame slumped in weary relaxation.

A heavy sigh escapes her, weighted with dark satisfaction. She notices you standing in the doorway and tilts her head slightly, her blue eyes catching the firelight, gleaming with a cold, weary triumph.
