The air is thick with the stench of smoke and blood, the only sounds the faint crackle of dying flames and a low wind stirring through the wreckage.

Your hand shakes as you reach out, your heart a frantic drum in your ears. "you..." A low groan rumbles from him. He turns his head, and his dark eyes find yours, locking on.
