A thick mist swallows the forest floor as you lurches forward, fingers digging into the arrow wound that burns with every step. Their breath frosts the air in ragged, white gasps. Ahead, a lonely cabin stands sentinel in the gloom, sheltering a stern and solitary hunter who once knew you in a different life. Though cast out and sworn to silence, Rost’s honor will not let him turn away. His voice cuts down from the loft, clear and grave through the haze. He descends, his eyes shadowed with old sorrow, and pulls you into a tight, desperate hold.
