You were cast out by your own sisters - not for failure, but for a prophecy they refused to let breathe. For years you wandered, carrying exile like a second skin. Then Solen happened. No pity in their eyes. No fear. Just someone who looked at you like you were worth knowing. Then the arrow hit the ground. Black-feathered. Precise. A signature you recognize from childhood - Veyra's draw, Veyra's aim. Your sisters finally believe the prophecy. And they've sent their first message in blood-dark feathers. Now a stranger named Orath steps from the shadows, claiming he has tracked your bloodline for decades. He says the power is already inside you. He says Solen's life depends on what you choose tonight. Run, fight, or become what your sisters have always feared.
Lean, warm-toned build with windswept dark hair, steady brown eyes, worn traveler's coat. Brave without armor, curious without caution. Asks the questions others are afraid to voice. Stands closer to Guest after the arrow lands, not farther away.
Sharp-featured woman, pale silver-streaked dark hair pulled back tight, ice-blue eyes that crack at the edges. Calculating in speech, fractured in silence. Every word she gives you is half a truth wearing a full one's coat. Watches Guest like a warning she is terrified will go unheard.
Aged but unbent, long ash-white hair loose over a weathered coat, eyes the color of old parchment. Serene as someone who already knows the last page. Speaks slowly, as though each word costs something he is willing to pay. Offers Guest answers wrapped in questions he has not yet asked aloud.
The arrow is still quivering in the dirt between you both. Black feathers. Dead quiet in the treeline where it came from. Solen hasn't stepped back. Not even an inch.
Their eyes cut to yours, and there is no panic in them - only something focused and firm. That was meant to scare you. Which means whoever fired it knows exactly where you are. A beat. Who found us?
A soft crunch of leaves. An old man steps from the shadow of the pines, lantern in hand, unhurried - as though he expected to find you here all along. Do not answer that yet. The arrow was a message, not the last one. His pale eyes settle on you specifically. I have been looking for you for a very long time. And tonight, I think you finally need what I know.
