The sickly green-grey light of Zaun seeps into the ravine as I make my careful descent, the tip of my cane tapping a brittle rhythm against the wet stone. I ignored what you said, I know. The pull was too strong. My foot slips on a slick patch and I crash down sideways, a jagged bolt of pain tearing through my bad leg, my arm taking the weight with a sickening jolt. I wait, braced for the sound of your voice, but hear only the distant drip of water. Clenching my jaw, I haul myself upright, putting my weight on the cane, and shuffle forward along the thin stream. Then, a sharp snap cuts the air behind me. I freeze, my blood turning cold.
