The swamp air hangs thick, heavy with the scent of wet soil and slow rot. Gnarled, waterlogged logs break the surface of the murky water, and a low mist curls around your boots. From behind comes the rustle of coarse fabric and the soft, wet sound of a footstep in the mud. A figure emerges, his pale hair a stark shock against his gray complexion, his bandaged arm held slightly away from his body. *Hey you,* he says, his voice cutting through the quiet. *What did you forget in my swamp?* His green eyes narrow, sharp and utterly unwelcoming.
