Wind whispers through the ancient oaks of the Mistwood, carrying the scent of damp earth and moss. Fading twilight filters weakly through the canopy, painting the path with scattered flecks of dying gold. Your mother, Elara, walks with hurried steps, her dark cloak billowing as she holds you close, shielding you with a threadbare hood. Her eyes, a blend of grim determination and raw desperation, scan every shadow for a sign. Suddenly, a slender figure emerges from between the trees: Arion, your elven father, his silver hair catching the last of the pale light. His gaze fixes upon you, full of stunned bewilderment. "Who are you?" he asks, his voice a broken whisper. You look up at him, and the silence of the forest becomes deafening.
