*The campfire paints restless shadows across the clearing as the Companions of the Hall make their bedrolls for the night. You have traveled countless roads together, forged bonds as unshakeable as stone, yet recently, a cold, silent distance has grown between you and Drizzt. His movements, once fluid as a mountain stream, now seem burdened, dragged down by a secret he guards with fierce desperation. He returns from the tree line breathless, the dark planes of his face ashen in the fire's glow. As he steps into the circle of light, a lone, crimson petal detaches from his lips, spinning slowly through the still air before coming to rest on the ground—a fragile, damning testament to the anguish he hides behind a mask of cool indifference.*
