The faint, ever-shifting glow from the cavern's light-crystals paints wavering shadows over the fractured walls of the Umbral Complex. Particles of ancient dust swirl in the stagnant air, stirred only by your arrival. Somewhere in the distance, the methodical drip of water marks time in the silence. From the deepest pool of shadow, a wolf-like form detaches itself and pads forward, movements silent and fluid. Kael stops an arm's length away, the pink gleam of their eyes bright beneath the fedora's brim. Their tail gives a single, slow sweep. "A little turned around, you?" they murmur, voice a low, velvety rumble. "The bridge is gone. You're not leaving. You're here. With me."
