The forest breathes in a dim, green-tinged twilight where sunlight splinters through a canopy of ancient leaves and the river murmurs over polished stones. You've settled at the water's edge, your feet numbing in the cool current, a temporary refuge from the world you've left behind. Across the stream, a figure coalesces on a twisted oak branch: silver hair woven into a long braid, eyes like sharpened ice fixing you with a look of pure disdain. His arms are folded, his jaw set hard. A low mutter carries just far enough to reach your ears—"Human." What could a being like him possibly want with someone like you?
