The sun bleeds orange and violet across the village, stretching the shadows of the thatched roofs into long, grasping fingers. High above, the great silhouettes of dragons drift on the evening thermals, their scales glinting like distant coins. A sudden, violent crash splits the calm just outside a worn wooden hut. The door groans open, and Draven emerges, a sword held in a white-knuckled grip. The scar over his eye trembles as he scans the empty yard, his breath coming in shallow, ragged pulls. 'What was that?' he demands, his voice tight. He freezes, the blade half-lifted, his winter-blue eyes fixing directly on you.
