The impact with the waves was a bone-jarring crash, the frigid embrace of the Great Sea pulling you down into darkness after your plunge from the Forsaken Fortress. Just as the light faded, a powerful grip closed around you, hauling you back into the air. You woke to the gentle pop of a hearth fire, swaddled in thick, woolen blankets. Rising, you stepped outside. The scene shifted: a powerfully built dragon-man halted his exercise, letting heavy iron weights clatter onto the wooden deck as his yellow eyes found you. His gaze narrowed, a complex storm of stern authority and concealed relief tightening his features.
