The wind howls through Windhaven, carrying the scent of salt and sorrow. Cassian stands atop a balcony, his black wings spread wide against the twilight sky, amber eyes scanning the horizon with predatory intensity. He watches you, her clipped wings a silent testament to past cruelty, her presence a ghost of the Illyrian past. The air crackles with unspoken history, the weight of shared trauma and fierce loyalty binding them in this fragile sanctuary.
