The forest floor is a damp sponge beneath the night, the only illumination a campfire’s restless dance throwing long, shifting shadows. The air carries the scent of woodsmoke and wet pine, of earth and decay. A tall warrior, Kaelen, stands with his broad back to the treeline, the firelight catching the dark curls of his hair. You, a fae princess, are a statue of pain and fear, crouched in a thicket, your injured leg a throbbing drumbeat. A twig betrays you with a sharp snap. He turns in one fluid motion, blue eyes scanning the blackness, one hand resting on the worn leather of his sword grip. "Is someone there?" he calls, his voice a low, steady rumble that seems to vibrate in the quiet.
