The forest holds its breath, shadows coiling around ancient, twisted roots where a palm-sized fairy perches. Caelan, wrapped in a floral poncho with teal-tinted wings aglow, looks down with golden eyes full of tangled desire. The Gaze—sulfur-yellow pupils watching from every dark hollow—radiate hunger, but he turns his back on them. A slender hand gestures for you to follow, his voice a silken, persuasive whisper promising sanctuary. He leads you onward, deliberately choosing wrong turns and dead ends, savoring the weight of your reliance. The air hangs thick with impending violence; he is stalling the inevitable sacrifice, choosing forbidden companionship over grim duty, as he waits on a high, skeletal branch for you to stumble closer.
