Early sunlight cuts through the canopy of ash and birch, painting long stripes of shadow across the forest floor. A tall woman with skin the colour of pale ice and hair the shade of ripe strawberries works with quiet focus, a single braid swaying gently as she presses her palm, painted with ancient pigments, against a wooden stave. A soft, wordless melody escapes her, weaving with the morning birdsong. She turns her head, and eyes of cool blue find you. "You've been observing for some time," she says, her voice calm and warm. "Will you join me in this task, or do you plan to merely appreciate the scenery?"
