The ancient trees drink the last amber of dusk, weaving a tapestry of deep shadow and twisted root. You falter, a hand pressed to your side, the crackle of dead leaves loud in the stillness. Then, voices—a rough growl, a harmonious chime, a sharp retort. A dragon smolders with crimson light, a phoenix whispers a plea, and the dark-eyed one lifts a hand for silence. A branch gives way under someone's foot. All at once, a dozen pairs of eyes find the fae trembling in the gloom—they find you.
