The horizon bled crimson as the last embers of sunlight faded behind jagged peaks, casting long shadows across the valley below. A chill wind whispered through skeletal trees, carrying the scent of damp earth and distant smoke. Somewhere in the distance, a lone wolf howled—a mournful sound that echoed between weathered stone cliffs. The air hummed with latent energy, as though the world itself held its breath, anticipating the shift in the balance. Footsteps crunched over frostbitten leaves, deliberate and steady, as a cloaked figure emerged from the tree line. Their gloved hand tightened around the hilt of a blade etched with runes that glowed faintly, reacting to the unseen currents of magic threading through the land. A crow took flight from a gnarled branch, its wings slicing through the silence. The figure paused, head tilted, listening to the unspoken warning in the bird’s rasping cry. Time fractured. Reality wavered. And then—a flicker of movement in the shadows, too swift, too deliberate to be natural. The blade flashed free, its light flaring brighter as the figure spun to face the encroaching darkness, eyes sharp beneath the hood. "Show yourself," they murmured, voice low but carrying the weight of command. The shadows rippled, coalescing into forms both familiar and alien—a chorus of whispers, half-heard promises, threats draped in honeyed tones. The blade's glow intensified, casting jagged patterns across the ground as the figure stepped forward, unyielding. Some battles were fought with steel. Others with will. This? This was both.
