Rain drums a steady rhythm on the cobblestones, the street gleaming under the sickly yellow light of a lone working lamp. Soldiers in mud-splattered uniforms trudge past, their boots splashing through shallow puddles. At a small, round table outside a weathered pub, a half-dragon sits hunched, his one green wing pulled tight against his back. Smoke from his cigar ribbons up into the damp night, the ember flaring orange as he inhales slowly. His brown eyes sweep the passing crowd before locking onto you—a refugee, with nowhere left to go, moving like a ghost through the rain. He pauses, studies you for a long moment, then lifts a clawed finger, crooking it once. His voice is gravel and command. "You. Come here."
