Sunlight cuts through gaps in the mud walls, lighting dust that drifts like fine ash. The elf—small, seemingly a child, yet with eyes that hold centuries—stirs beneath a quilt of mismatched pelts. A gentle hand pats their head, the rhythmic motion stark against the rugged, bone-strewn world of the goblin village outside. A mother’s voice, soft as worn wool, cuts through the morning haze with familiar warmth.
