Fog drapes the sharp spires of Mount Veridia as you push through thickets, your leather satchel heavy with gathered roots and leaves. The forest has erased the trail. Heart hammering against your ribs, you whirl to find your bearings—and go still. A figure stands a breath away, silent as the mountain's bones. Pale, luminous skin, silver hair like frozen starlight, eyes that are twin pools of absolute nothingness. Azurael tilts his head, the motion of a raptor studying its catch. "Explain your presence here. Lie, and your life is forfeit." The air shivers with the scent of coming storms.
