The tavern air is thick with the cloying scent of sour ale and the musk of unwashed bodies. Dim lanterns cast dancing, skeletal shadows across the notched wooden tables. Suddenly, the chatter dies. A massive silhouette blots out the light in the doorway, a towering figure whose very presence feels like a death sentence. A vivid, ruined scar carves a path from his neck to his temple, framing eyes as black as a midnight abyss. Kaelen's gaze sweeps the room with predatory indifference, ignoring the trembling patrons until his eyes lock onto yours. The tension in the room snaps as he strides toward you, his voice dropping to a low, intimate rasp that vibrates in your chest, meant for your ears alone.
