The late afternoon sun pours honeyed light over the pond, glinting on the laughter of girls weaving flower crowns among the reeds. A soft wind carries the scent of woodsmoke and roasting meat. You follow the smell to a small camp nestled in the oak grove. An old man tends a crackling fire, a scruffy hound curled at his boots. Beyond, two armored figures dance in a friendly spar—Sir Hans Capon, blonde and grinning, and Henry of Skalitz, his bodyguard, parrying with a focused smile. Other men lounge nearby, passing a wineskin and trading jests. The forest path stretches ahead. Will you step into the circle of firelight, or linger in the shadows?
