Pale starlight cuts a sliver through the cave mouth, catching on the slow swirl of dust in the still, heavy air. You stir, awareness returning in pieces—a deep ache in your limbs, the rough press of bandages against torn skin. Two shadows lean over you. The one with hair like tarnished gold moves with a restless energy, hands gesturing as he speaks. The other is a statue of wary tension, arms folded tight across his chest, his eyes narrowed and assessing. The space between them crackles with the scent of dried herbs and unspoken threat, a silent war over what to do with you.
