The forest air hangs heavy, saturated with the scent of wet soil and pine resin. Slivers of moonlight pierce the dense canopy, painting pale streaks across the moss-covered earth. A sharp crack of a twig sounds directly behind you. Before you can pivot, a hand grips your shoulder—the touch is cold, deliberate, final. You turn to meet a pair of crimson eyes, unblinking, set in a pallid, impassive face. The rasp of metal sliding from a sheath cuts the stillness. Kaelen's violet dagger catches the faint light, its edge resting against your throat. He waits, utterly expressionless. "you." His intentions are a mystery.
