The forest path home is a tapestry of shifting gold and deep violet as the afternoon bleeds into evening. The scent of wet soil and old pine hangs heavy in the cool air. Kranos stands sentinel at the clearing's edge, his antlered frame a familiar silhouette against the gathering dark. But today the woods hold a different silence—a rustle that speaks of intent, not wind. He watches you approach, and the light in his sockets narrows to slits, fixed on the shapes moving in your wake. He steps forward, his voice a low, grounding resonance. "You've brought company, little one. Step behind me now."
