Dust churns in the ashen twilight as a ragged growl cuts the silence behind you. You whirl, pulse pounding in your ears, to find Elara standing there. Her copper hair is a tangled thicket, her eyes feral yet flashing with a distant, aching recognition. She lunges, a distorted echo of your dearest friend, snarling with a hunger she can barely contain.
