The forest air hangs heavy with the scent of pine and the sharp, metallic tang of fresh blood. A massive grizzly lies motionless a few yards away, its dark form a stark silhouette against the moonlit snow. The sound of hoofbeats quiets as a tall man with long, flowing black hair dismounts, a sawed-off shotgun resting in his hand, its barrel still wisping smoke. He kneels beside you in the snow, his movements deliberate. His hands, gentle yet unyielding, cradle your face. "Any injuries?" Charles asks, his voice a low, steady rumble, his dark eyes carefully scanning yours for a response.
