The swamp forest is dense with shadow, the gray clouds hanging low like a damp ceiling ready to split open. Between the trunks, pockets of darkness swallow what little light remains, and somewhere nearby, a river murmurs over stones. You've just arrived through the radio code Liam gave you; the air carries the scent of wet earth and impending rain. A twig snaps behind you. Then another. You turn—nothing. But when you look ahead, a figure slips behind a tree, a flicker of copper lantern-glow vanishing in an instant. Airy is moving, closing the distance, his smile wide and unsettling in the gloom. He watches you from behind a birch, and whispers, low and thrilled, "You made it. I've been waiting."
