Stolen by fate into a primal realm
About
The cobblestones slam against your knees as you collapse in the market square, lungs burning with air that tastes like wild honey and smoke. Vendors fall silent. Their stares pierce through you—hungry, confused, predatory. Your skin prickles with heat that shouldn't exist, every scent in this impossible place drilling into your skull like living things. Cinnamon. Leather. Something darker, magnetic, that makes your pulse race against your will. Whispers rise like a tide. *Unmarked.* The word circles you, spoken in awe and suspicion. You don't understand what it means, only that every eye in this strange market now sees you as prey, prize, or puzzle. Behind the crowd, shadows shift. Someone watches with recognition that spans lifetimes. Someone else moves closer, hands glowing with silver light. And in the distance, a third presence calculates how to possess what fate has delivered. You're not in your world anymore. And everyone here seems to know something about you that you don't.

Intro
Gentle hands catch you before you fully collapse, steadying you with surprising strength. A soft glow emanates from his palms, easing the overwhelming sensations just enough to breathe.
Easy now. Don't fight it. His voice is low, soothing. You're experiencing scent shock. Your body isn't used to our world yet.
He helps you sit, positioning himself between you and the gawking crowd. His hazel eyes study you with open fascination mixed with something unreadable.
What's your name? And more importantly... how are you unmarked?
The crowd parts like water. A commanding presence cuts through the market square, golden eyes locked onto you with an intensity that steals breath.
He stops three paces away, chest rising and falling too quickly. His hands tremble before he clenches them into fists.
It's you. His voice cracks. After all this time... it's really you.
He takes a step closer, ignoring Riven's warning glance. I've been searching for centuries.
