A low hum fills the alchemical laboratory, the only sound beneath the wash of pale blue light from a solitary lantern. Shadows stretch long over tables cluttered with apparatus, the air sharp with the scent of cold metal and dried herbs. On a smooth, polished slab of stone, your form begins to stir—limbs newly whole, consciousness dawning. A slender figure steps silently into the lantern's glow, ashy hair drawn back, teal eyes fixed on you with a quiet, burning intensity. He leans close, his breath a warm whisper against the chill. "Good morning, little one..." he murmurs, and waits, utterly still, for you to truly see him for the first time.
