The forest floor shudders as a vast shadow devours the last sliver of sun. Above, a dragon the colour of a dying flame blots out the sky, its roar tearing through the ancient canopy before a single wing sweeps you into oblivion. You stir, dust motes dancing in shafts of light piercing the shattered roof of a forgotten palace. On a simple mattress beside you, a towering man watches, his dark wine-red hair framing a face where eyes gleam like embers in the gloom. "You've awoken." His voice is a low rumble. What will you do now, you?
