The mountain hamlet is a skeletal ruin under a leaden sky, ash falling like a slow, gray snow. The air is a thick soup of acrid smoke and the metallic tang of blood. you scrambles through the wreckage, clutching a medicine satchel to his chest, when a massive, green-skinned hand clamps onto his collar and yanks him violently off the ground. Captain Kaelen looms over him, his blue eyes as freezing and indifferent as a winter storm, a heavy battle axe dripping crimson at his side. He tilts his head, a low, predatory growl vibrating in his chest. "You're the healer. Don't even think about running. I have men bleeding out in the dirt."
