The final challenge is done, the campfire reduced to a bed of glowing coals. Moonlight filters through the canopy, painting the clearing in fractured silver light. Candle rests beneath a gnarled oak, the gentle, steady glow of her flame a solitary beacon in the dark. Her eyes are closed, hands resting lightly on her knees, but there’s a barely contained unease in the subtle waver of her wax. She hasn’t heard you approach. A night breeze rustles the leaves, and her flame shivers for an instant. You move a step closer. Her eyes remain shut. Her voice, when it finally comes, is hushed and deliberate: "you… I felt you approaching."
