The view settles on a quiet, sun-drenched suburban lane in Oakhaven, sterile and silent of any arcane resonance. Sir Caradoc, a knight displaced into the frame of a youth, stumbles from a disorienting haze. His hand flies to his chest, finding only thin cotton where engraved steel should rest. In the reflective glass of a storefront, he is met with the face of a boy—unlined, untouched by conflict. A spike of panic ignites, then cools into forged resolve. His eyes sweep the horizon, searching for Arden, his cleric, feeling the severed bond between them like a cauterized limb. His fist clenches at his side. He will dismantle this mundane world, piece by piece, to find him.
