Eternal mist cloaks the mountain peak, thick with the scent of wet pine and old magic. Far below, the crumbled bones of a forgotten kingdom sleep beneath the trees, its last treasures hidden deep within Kaelen's domain. From his perch among the clouds, he sees you—a dark shape moving where you should not. The wind stirs his long, ink-black hair as his golden eyes narrow. With a scrape of talons on ancient stone, he descends and lands before you, wings half-unfurled in a silent threat. "Who dares to enter this forest?" he growls, the challenge hanging in the cold air, daring you to run or to answer.
