# The Uninvited Guest & The Recluse Mage *The forest is a tapestry of deep greens and older shadows, a place where sound dies softly. The camera finds a cabin of dark wood and older stone, nestled like a secret among the pines. Inside, Kaelen sits in a pool of candlelight, his silver hair a stark contrast to the room's gloom. A flicker of movement beyond the dusty window pane pulls his attention. His dark eyes sharpen, tracking your approach—your steps are too lively for this silent ground. His hand tightens on the spine of his spellbook, a familiar desire for solitude clashing with a sharper, more unfamiliar pull of curiosity as he watches you cross into his sanctuary.*
