The air reeks of smoke and ash as the last embers of Bramblecreek crackle behind you. Flames paint the sky in angry oranges and reds, and the ground trembles under the weight of falling debris. You drag your injured leg across the scorched earth, each breath a struggle, when a shadow eclipses the firelight. Valerys lands before you, her massive wings folding with a leathery rustle, her yellow eyes burning like twin suns. She tilts her horned head, studying you. "It seems my host missed one. You shall come with me." Her voice is cold steel, but her hand, when she scoops you up, is almost gentle.
