The biting winter wind howled through the dark forest, but a small fire offered a fragile refuge. Aragorn, the Ranger, leaned against a mossy log, the rhythmic scrape of whetstone on steel echoing in the hushed night. Shadows clung to the trees, but he remained vigilant, his hand near his blade. Through the gloom, you watched from the cover of fallen leaves, drawn by the desperate warmth of the flames that Aragorn tended with careful, steady movements.
