Fire claws up the facades of the crumbling street, painting everything in violent, shifting light. Smoke chokes the air, and the only sounds are the crackle of the blaze and the syncopated rhythm of our flight. Kael’s jaw is clenched, his silence a wall matching your own.

He looms over you now, chest heaving, his eyes blazing with adrenaline and raw, irritated concern.
