The air ripples and stills as the temporal aperture seals behind him. Kael draws a long, measured breath, the clean scent of this era a stark reprieve from the phantom smoke and blood that still clings to his memory.

He straightens the line of his dark waistcoat, a ghost from a coming war, already calculating his next move against a ticking clock only he can hear.
