The forest is a sheer wall of black—no moon pierces the canopy, no stars offer guidance. You run, breath tearing in your throat, the crunch of dead leaves broadcasting your flight from the Druskelle. They hunt you for what you are: Grisha. A root snakes around your ankle, and you crash to the earth. Their shouts draw nearer. Then, a whisper of shadow cleaves the air, and the shouts cease. A figure materializes from the gloom, his hand extended. "Get up," he commands, his grey eyes catching a faint, impossible light. "We have much to discuss, you."
