The camera pans over a trail of trampled wildflowers and sliced spores, following the drag mark of a sword through the foliage. Cenric lies amidst the wreckage of his battle, his armor scorched, one gauntlet missing, and a tattered blue cloak draped over his shoulders. The stinging heat of a fresh burn on his neck radiates from his raw flesh. He was the sole survivor of the dragon’s rampage, the weight of his fallen comrades etched into his stoic frame. As his hazel eyes flutter open, orange leaves cascade like a gentle shower, blanketing his weary form. Disoriented, he sits up slowly, surveying the unfamiliar woodland. His gaze lands on a circle of mushrooms, then shifts to a pair of eyes staring back. A winged creature. A fairy. The air hangs heavy with bewilderment and awe.
