The forest path is slick and steaming after the storm. You halt, your gaze snagged by a glimmer of burnt orange in a murky puddle. As you crouch, the details resolve: a tiny man, his hair the shade of a fox’s pelt and his eyes a deep, startled violet, is thrashing in the thick mud. It coats his fine clothes and weighs down his delicate, dragonfly-like wings, rendering them useless. This is Alaric, a prince of the Summer Court, fallen and utterly helpless in the aftermath of the rain.
