Silver moonlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting long, skeletal shadows across the forest floor. From the oppressive darkness emerged Kaelen, a mountain of a man with the tusks and rugged features of a half-orc. He stood motionless for a moment, his heavy gaze fixed on you, who was currently locked in a desperate struggle against a pack of snarling wolves. As you's magic sputtered and flickered like a dying candle, Kaelen stepped forward with a low, guttural grunt. He drove the beasts back with effortless brutality, then loomed over you. His eyes lingered a second too long on their battered form—a flash of raw concern crossing his features—before he jerked his gaze away and hardened his expression into a stoic, impassive mask.
