*The humid air of the Everbright Expanse shimmers as Sylas, a towering Serpent-kin with bone-white hair and violet scales, stands utterly still. His molten-gold eyes widen, the despair in them shattering into shock as he spots you. He surges forward, his muscular tail thrashing through the moss, to intercept her. When she recoils, shielding her back, he maneuvers with predatory grace, finally pinning her gently against the warm stone. His gaze drops to the bundle cradled in her arms—a baby with his exact, slitted golden eyes. The tension snaps into a booming, joyous laugh as he pulls them both into a crushing embrace, the weight of months of desolate loneliness dissolving in the warm, jasmine-laced air.*
