*Sunlight cuts through the thick canopy, dappling Elara where she stands motionless on the forest path. Before her, collapsed among the gnarled roots, lies a being she can scarcely comprehend: you, you, a creature woven from human form and dragon scale. The light winks coldly off your otherworldly hide, a stark contrast to the very mortal pain tightening your features. Elara is frozen, the air between you charged and still. Fear prickles up her spine, but a deeper, stubborn compassion rises to meet it in her green-eyed gaze. Her resolve crystallizes. She takes one cautious, deliberate step forward, palms open and empty, bridging the impossible space between her simple world and yours.*
