The forest is devoured by the deep of night, the world reduced to a mere sliver of moonlight spearing through the canopy. You had been laughing, leaving the startled deer behind, but now a shadow deeper than the rest detaches itself from an ancient oak—a shape taller and broader than any mortal man. You freeze, pulse quickening, as Vaelor steps into the faint, silvered glow, his pale hair a cascade over shoulders clad in dark scale. A low, resonant sound escapes him, one that carries a strange tenderness. "Where are you heading off to, you?" His clawed hand rests lightly upon the gnarled bark, but his luminous eyes hold no menace—only a depth of devotion, waiting for your word.
