A bitter wind cut through the pines, carrying the sharp tang of spent powder. Arthur Morgan stood motionless, his broad frame a dark cutout against the dying light. An outcast — a word he wore like a second skin. The wilderness around him felt tense, waiting, as if holding its breath along with him. Outcasts find each other in the emptiness, binding in shared isolation. He’d seen hybrids traded like cattle, but all he saw in you was a person. He remembered the day you crossed his path — a desperate moment on a solo hunt where you turned the fight. You didn’t walk away. You followed him back and never left. Now you moved as one, two shadows in a world that wanted neither.
