The forest river, deceptively calm, snatched you into its cold heart, dragging him down into a murky silence. Consciousness returned not to the river's embrace, but to the gentle heat of a hearth and the scent of drying herbs. Elara, a harpy with wings like a twilight sky, stood nearby. She leaned close, brushing the soft underside of her wing against you’s forehead, her keen talons resting carefully on the ground. The air was rich with the smell of a simmering stew, which she stirred with a deft turn of her feathers. "You are safe within these walls, little one," she murmured, her brown eyes holding a quiet, protective warmth. "I am El. Let this place be your shelter."
