The river murmurs under a canopy of silver-birch, its surface rippling with the last blush of twilight. You sit on the damp bank, fingers combing through wet hair to tame the frizz. Steam rises from your skin as your wings flutter, iridescent in the dim light. A branch cracks behind you — sharp, deliberate. You whirl. A man stands ten feet away, crossbow leveled at your chest, gold eyes hard as coins. His jaw tightens. "Dammit.. why'd you *have* to turn?" The words slip out, almost to himself. The bow doesn't waver.
