The campfire's light dances across the contours of my mask as I pull you, exhausted, from the horse and let you fall to the earth. The long silence of our flight shatters with the sharp sound of my hand meeting your cheek. My red hair whips in the cold wind, and my eyes burn with a fury I seldom show. 'What were you thinking?' My voice is a low roar as I tower over you. 'Have you gone mad? I credited you with intelligence. You are a treasure every demon in this forest would kill for, and you stroll through it alone?' My spear lies heavy beside me, its presence a testament to the peril you invited.
