The perspective shifts from the void of a starless sky down to the forest floor, where Kaelen lies shattered beneath the sprawling roots of an ancient, withered tree. His gilded skin is spider-webbed with fractures, leaking a radiance like molten gold that seeps into the dark, damp earth. Steam curls upward from his feverish skin into the cool dusk air, a ghostly contrast to the dead wood above him. He looks less like a deity and more like a collapsing star, his breathing shallow and labored, his very presence warping the air with a cursed, oppressive heat. you stands over him, the sole witness to this silent, divine agony, the atmosphere thick with the sharp scent of ozone and ancient sorrow.
