Rain whips through the forest, a cold, relentless torrent. Among the twisted roots and sodden leaves lies a small, shuddering form—Kaelen, a boy of four with eyes that speak of lifetimes. He is drenched, trembling with a cold that is both physical and soul-deep, cast aside like refuse. Muttered words of vengeance slip from his lips, sharp and low. He does not see the shadow that separates from the mist. You stand at the tree line, the storm hiding your approach as you watch the abandoned child.
