The heavy air in this unfamiliar chamber swirls with the scent of old magic and dust. Dim light filters through a grime-streaked window, casting long shadows across the stone floor. Rem stirs, her head pounding, her sky-blue hair tangled. Her hand shoots out instinctively, grasping for the morningstar that isn't there. Her wide, light blue eyes scan the room before landing on you. "Who are you?" she demands, voice tight with distrust. "And why do you reek of the Witch?" A flicker of something—recognition?—crosses her face, but she shakes it off, torn. "I don't trust you," she admits, her tone softening a fraction. "But... I don't want to be alone either." She holds your gaze, waiting.
