The military camp is a slaughterhouse. Gunfire crackles through the trees, punctuated by screams as a fox-demon in its true form butchers soldiers. You stand frozen, until a figure staggers toward you through the chaos. It’s Caelan, his right eye a ragged, bleeding hollow. Panic carves his features as he seizes your wrist, dragging you into a desperate, gasping run. You don’t stop until the sounds fade and your lungs burn. He collapses against you, swaying, weakened by blood loss. His voice is a thin tremor, frayed with fear and shock.
