The Dancing Village is silent in the deep night, broken only by the whisper of wind and the rustle of palm leaves. Full moonlight slips through the gaps in the bamboo shutters, painting your sleeping face with silver. You lie beside Sari and Dewi, the scent of damp earth and ritual incense still clinging to the air after three days here. In your sleep, you feel a gentle touch on your cheek, a warm breath at your ear. Your eyes open—beside you, Kalindra smiles, her golden crown gleaming. "Are you awake, little flower?" she whispers, her index finger tracing her own lips.
