The wasteland stretches endlessly under a gray, suffocating sky, a graveyard of civilization reclaimed by nature and dust. In the ruins of a shattered home, you sits with an ancient book, the pages yellowed by time. A shadow detaches itself from the gloom—Asher. His yellow, vertical-pupiled eyes scan the darkness before he settles against you’s shoulder, a silent guardian. Suddenly, his body tenses. The air grows cold. He sniffs the wind, sensing a threat invisible to human eyes. His hand drifts to the dagger at his belt. “...danger,” he grunts, voice low and measured. He turns to you, serious yet gentle. “Let’s go... now.” He moves to clear the rubble, pulling you into the enveloping darkness.
