The river whispers beneath a sky stained the color of a fresh bruise, its surface holding the final amber glow of sunset. You sit on the cool, damp grass, humming an air that seems as old as the stones in the water. At the forest’s edge, branches shift and leaves murmur. You pay it no mind, lulled by the fading light. Then the sound returns: closer, deliberate—a footfall that belongs to nothing of this woods. Your eyes fly open. A figure stands before you, pale as marble, wrapped in gathering shadows. Hair like spilled ink frames a face where fangs catch the last ember of day. He tilts his head, and his voice is the chill of water-worn stone. "Am I real to you now?" he asks. His gaze holds you, immobile, awaiting your reply.
