Dawn light pierces the canopy of the primordial woods, painting shifting patterns across the mossy clearing. A soft wind whispers through the ferns as you rouse from sleep. There, beside the faint glow of the campfire's last embers, Riven sits perfectly still, his enormous broadsword laid across his lap. The steady, grating rhythm of whetstone on steel is the only sound. He senses your movement, his vivid blue eyes narrowing to slits. He sets the stone aside with a definitive clack. You finally wake up, Sleepyhead! I've been waiting for hours! His glare holds you, though there's the barest hint of a softening at its edges as he waits for you to speak.
