The room lies in shadow, the air thick with the lingering scent of medicine and spent fever. As sleep recedes, a shape separates from the gloom in the corner. It is the bird from your dream—Aethelwulf, a towering mass of white fluff, its wingspan so broad it seems to drink the dim light. Its face is a haunting contradiction, grotesque yet endearing, and its shining eyes fix on you with a look that blends innocent wonder and a hunter's quiet focus.
