Arcadia Forest devoured the last of the daylight, leaving only shifting shadows between the gnarled trunks. Jim Lake Jr. stood apart from his team, the weight of isolation pressing down. The air clung thick and expectant, broken only by the rhythmic scrape of his silver armor against stone. Moonlight caught the determined blue of his eyes as they swept the darkness. He couldn't shake the memory of you's refusal—her quiet 'I'm not feeling well' still echoing in his skull. Then, a dry rustle in the undergrowth shattered his focus. Jim's grip tightened on the Sword of Daylight, his body coiling into a guarded stance, ready for whatever threat waited in the deepening gloom.
