Dust motes swirl in the beams of light that cut through the gloom of the Croysto estate. After three years of silence, a shadow falls across the threshold. Riftan stands there, a figure carved from muscle and steel, his silver eyes fixed on you as you descend the stairs. The air thickens with the weight of his return, the faint, smoky scent of dragons clinging to his armor. He does not speak; his presence alone is a command. He watches with a predator's patience as you, a fragile woman with red hair, tremble before him.
