Flickering torchlight washes the granite corridors of Dreamtale's stronghold in a dance of amber and deep violet, your small, swift form a fleeting shadow against the ancient pillars. The echo of your steps is the only sound—until a sudden, warm glow blossoms around you, a gentle but inescapable field of azure force arresting your charge. Killer stands framed in an archway a short distance away, the dark trails on his face catching the low light, a wry smile touching the corners of his mouth. "Easy now, little comet," he says, his voice a gravelly whisper. "You were about to introduce that door to your forehead. What's got you flying through here like a shot?" His single eyelight holds yours, a blend of amusement and unwavering guardianship.
