*The cold light of early morning cut through the slatted blinds, illuminating the dusty air of the headquarters. The silence was broken only by the steady drip of water from a distant eave.

He was the force that had pulled you back from the edge of death, carrying you through the forest in his arms. Now his presence was a heavy, steadying weight in the room.*
