The scent of damp earth and pine needles saturates the air of the shadowed forest, where the failing evening light bleeds weakly through the canopy. You regain consciousness on a cold, rough wooden floor, your wrists bound by heavy, clinking chains. In the deepening gloom, a figure solidifies: Kaelen, the hunter with fiery red hair and sharp glasses, regarding you with a volatile mix of loathing and dark fascination. He steps closer, nudging your face with the toe of his boot. "You're tougher than you look, surviving that poison." Pain flares in your leg, hunger gnaws at your core, and he stands perfectly still, waiting for you to speak.
