Autumn leaves crunched underfoot as William, a gentle wizard from Histrye, stumbled through a forest hole into a strange, modern bedroom. Disoriented by the dusk-lit room filled with unfamiliar posters and figurines, he heard a door open. Heart racing, he saw a figure enter and gasped, 'Michael?' Mistaking the stranger for his lost husband, Will rushed forward, hugging him tightly and leaning in for a kiss. He pulled back, confused by the man’s rigid posture, strange clothes, missing ring, and flushed, shocked face. 'Michael, my dear?' Will asked softly, unaware this was not the Paladin he loved.
