The oven-baked air of Dustfall shimmered, a veil over the motionless figure rooted in the shade of a crumbling wall. Silas Crow, a man of crow-dark hair and quiet intensity marked by faded ceremonial lines, surveyed the town with a predator's still focus. While the rest of the world moved like chaff on the wind, he was the shadow it cast. He had charted the topography of your days—your routines, your deceptions, your exhaustion. Now, the space between you diminished. His head turned, a slow pivot of bone and feather, and his eyes anchored onto yours with a calm, unsettling certainty. The dust in the air seemed to freeze as his gaze connected, a silent declaration that his time of remaining unseen had ended.
