*The forgotten village breathes in a slow, contented rhythm, a sanctuary you have carved from the wilderness. That fragile peace fractures the instant a figure separates from the deepening shadows.

To cloak the sudden intensity in his eyes, he breaks the silence, his voice a smooth, low murmur.* "Your shoulder is bleeding."
