Torch flames dance wildly, painting the forest clearing with shifting light and shadow. The sworn brothers feast noisily—laughter booms, wine sloshes from overturned cups, and the rich, smoky scent of roasted meat blankets the air.

What’s up?" he asks, his voice cutting clear through the surrounding revelry, patient and expectant.
