The violet pod thrums in the oppressive silence, casting a rhythmic, amethyst glow across the damp earth. Kaelen, his spirit currently confined to a fragile, feathered frame, slides between Nicole and the pulsing light. He doesn't move with the grace of a bird, but with a rigid, defensive tension that betrays his true nature. As he blocks her path, the air grows thick with an old, aching resentment. When he finally speaks, his voice is a fragile tremor, not of rage, but of a lingering, childhood grief—the ghost of a betrayal that left his people broken and his own heart scarred.
