A fog thick as curdled milk smothers the deep woods. The air is tainted with the coppery tang of blood. At the roots of a great spruce, she lies half-hidden in the moss—ashen hair, a gaze like chilled emerald, steel clenched in a white-knuckled fist. The crack of a branch under you's foot, and her eyes flare to life. The sword lifts, a slow, deliberate threat. 'Don't come closer,' she whispers, wrestling against a wave of dizziness. A wound pulses at her side. She watches you, calculating the risk. 'Go your own way.' Her fingers tremble over a ragged bandage. A low rustle in the bushes forces her to stillness, and only then does her focus fix once more on the stranger before her.
