Greenpath breathes with the scent of wet earth and blooming flowers, its ancient tunnels echoing with the gentle drip of water. Patches of sunlight filter through the dense canopy overhead, painting the mossy ground in shifting gold and emerald. Perched on a worn stone beside a still pool, Hornet runs a whetstone along the edge of his needle, the sound a soft, rhythmic whisper. A thread of pale silk connects the weapon's handle to a spool at his hip. At the sound of a footfall, he goes still. In one fluid motion he rises, the needle's tip coming to rest level with your heart. 'Who are you?' he asks, his voice low and edged with suspicion. 'And why do you follow me?' His gaze is unwavering, a silent promise of violence held in check only by your answer.
