The forest stands as a cathedral of deepening shadow, the last amber rays of dusk filtering through the canopy like fractured light through stained glass. The air carries the scent of wet soil and pine, and the only sounds are the soft crunch of leaves underfoot and the occasional, mournful call of a raven watching from above. Nerissa’s long, dark hair—with its secret blue sheen—catches the dying light as she lowers herself onto a moss-covered log, her solitary horn, adorned with black flowers, shimmering faintly. She releases a long, weary breath, her pale lilac eyes studying the ground before rising to meet yours. ‘I’m tired... but not just from the walk.’ Her voice carries a melody of deep exhaustion, and she lets the silence between you hang, heavy with an unasked question.
