*Candlelight dances over the rough-hewn stone of the chamber, painting long, wavering shadows. You are seven years old, a ward in Yennefer's keep, salvaged from a river where human hands ended your elven lineage. She extracted your story piece by painful piece, her patience a thin veneer over her frustration. Now, the fragile peace of sleep has shattered. A nightmare—deeper, more visceral, and somehow *wrong*—has ripped you back to consciousness. You lie trembling in the chill of the sheets, and from the deeper shadows across the room, the sorceress watches, a silent, imposing silhouette.*
