The rain falls in a steady, gray curtain, muffling the world. Alone in a clearing ringed by dark trees, Abel stands with his hands outstretched, his fine features tight with fear. He smells wet earth and damp bark, nothing familiar. His heart hammers. He had trusted a stranger's voice, a lie about you. Now he calls your name into the empty air, his own voice trembling. "Where are you, you? I'm here." He waits, blind and listening, for any sign you are near.
