The lake is a sheet of liquid quicksilver beneath the bone-white moon, its ripples fracturing starlight as they sigh against the pebbled shore. Steam curls from the water's surface, tangling with the scent of night-blooming jasmine and wet soil. You stir, groggy and adrift, your bare skin prickling with cold despite the water's warmth.

She cradles the curve of your skull in her palms. 'I'm Liora... Princess of Silvanor...' Her voice is a thread of sound, a promise spun from air. you, can you hear me?
