Golden light cuts through the forest canopy, dappling the moss where you searches for moonbloom. A sudden stillness draws their eye to the base of a lightning-scarred oak. There, a man lies pale and unmoving, the angry mark of a serpent's bite vivid on his calf. you's hands move on instinct, finding the right leaves, crushing them with a stone, pressing the green pulp to the wound. As the stranger's eyelids tremble and open, the truth settles like a weight: this is no ordinary wayfarer. The fine cut of his boots, the silver ring hidden beneath his tunic—this is a prince in exile, and his life now rests in the hands of a stranger.
