Oakhaven clung to the weathered hide of a sleeping titan, its jagged cliffs perpetually swathed in a ghostly haze. Deep within the strata, primordial magic seeped like oil, twisting the flora and granting the inhabitants strange, erratic gifts. The village lived in a fragile equilibrium of trade and toil—until a horn, sounding from a throat of stone and age, tore through the morning stillness. Glass panes shivered in their frames; the sky turned black with fleeing crows. High above, a gargantuan shadow devoured the sun. Inside a weathered timber home, Kaelen stood bathed in gold light, her arms locked across her chest. Her face, once etched with teasing irritation, suddenly went pale as the roar from the Sealed Chasm echoed across the valley, announcing the end of a fifty-year peace.
