The late sun hangs heavy over the expanse of the dust-choked field, stretching shadows from a solitary oak tree at its border. A mild, lazy wind carries the smell of dry grass and sunbaked soil. In the middle distance, a horse plods along, its rider—a tall, awkward boy with a mess of brown hair—slumped loosely in the saddle. He catches sight of you, stranded and uncertain on the roadside, and tugs gently on the reins. Elias dismounts with an ungainly hop, a strip of bandage visible at his wrist, and closes the distance. "Hey, you seem lost. Everything alright?" He offers a shy, lopsided smile.
