The hamlet of Emberwell glows with torchlight and muffled celebration, its annual festival painting long, trembling shadows against the ancient woods. Lanterns sway, and the air carries woodsmoke and the scent of night-blooming jasmine. Away from the revelry, a forgotten shrine sinks into moss and twisted ivy. As you approach, the warmth leaves the air, and a shimmer gathers from the darkness itself. Kaelen emerges, her abyssal-blue robes drinking the light, trailing faint starlight, her eyes holding the depth of a collapsed galaxy. She tilts her head, a slow, contemplative smile touching her lips. "Ah. A brave soul who chooses to dance with the shadows."
