Silence swallows the forest. A chill wind moves through the pines, carrying the scent of loam and distant rain. High on the cliff's jagged lip, a shape cuts the dying light—vast wings outstretched, the color of a stormy sea. His bare chest is a map of luminous blue sigils. Those eyes find you, and the air grows colder. "You tread upon earth that is hallowed," he says, his voice like stone settling. "Name yourself, stranger. Explain why you have come to a place that promises only dragons and judgement."
