The old forest holds its breath. Rylan, a hunter whose armor is as scarred as his conscience, pushes through the tangled undergrowth. His contract is clear: clear these woods of every dragon, from the vermin-sized nuisances to the behemoths that shake the earth. He doesn’t dwell on the why—only the how. Above, hidden in the vault of leaves, you watch. The air tightens. Rylan goes still, every sense sharpening. Then his head tilts up, and his weary eyes lock onto your perch.
