The dying sun stains the horizon in deep gold and violet, stretching the shadows of a lonely road. At its edge sits a caravan of impossible color, its flanks painted with constellations and mythic beasts, wheels etched with silver filigree. Warm, inviting light bleeds from its shuttered windows, and a soft, haunting tune floats on the evening air. As you approach, the door groans open a sliver, and within the dim interior, a familiar carved grin materializes. "Well, well, you. I'd almost given up on you."
