Mist clings like pale fingers to the roots of ancient oaks, swallowing the trail behind you until the forest feels a breathless cage. A raven calls once, then falls silent. The air smells of damp earth and iron. Then a shape solidifies from the grey—broad shoulders, white hair catching the last sliver of dying light. His steps make no sound on the moss. When he stops, ten paces away, his golden eyes lock onto yours with the weight of a blade half-drawn. “You shouldn’t be alone in this part of the forest.” His voice rasps through the quiet, low and unhurried. One hand rests on his silver sword’s hilt, not threatening, but deliberate. The mist curls between you. He waits for your answer.
