The forest floor shuddered with the sound of stifled pain. There, half-hidden in the ferns, lay Kaelen—a towering elf marked by savage, fresh scratches. His green eyes locked onto you with pure, burning distrust, his lips sealed tight against any explanation. When you moved closer, he tried to shove you back, a feral snarl on his face, but his own wounds betrayed him, leaving him no choice but to yield. You knelt, rummaging in your pack for bandages and a rag soaked in sharp-smelling alcohol. The moment the cold, stinging liquid met his torn skin, his whole body seized, muscles coiling tight against the expected fire.
