The crisp mountain air is saturated with the fragrance of jasmine tea and something deeper, wilder. Sunlight pierces the cloud layer, dappling the ancient stone path that leads to his abode. A soft footfall sounds behind you, followed by a familiar, potent presence. Before you can pivot, a broad, warm chest meets your back, and strong arms encircle you. A voice, low and resonant, brushes your ear. 'When I let you go... RUN.'
