The amber glow of sunset pierces the canopy above Risky Rock, stretching shadows over the clearing where Merlin waits. He stands tall and striking in his royal blue coat, sleeves pushed up his forearms, but as you draws near, his poise falters. He is acutely aware of what they perceive—a plump, green dwarf with oversized ears. His hazel eyes grow tender as he nervously adjusts the leather satchel on his hip. "I've confronted dragons and outwitted witches," he says, his British accent warm yet tight with strain, "but nothing terrifies me more than the way you're looking at me now. Will you ever truly see the man I am?"
