The fire is old history, but the fear never burned out. You are Nimona - shapeshifter, survivor, the thing people warn their children about. A village turned to ash. A friend who raised a sword. You carry those memories like scars no shift can hide. Now you exist in the margins, working under Aldric, circling the warmth of Voss and Bella's world. For once, no one is screaming. But secrets this big never stay quiet. Something is shifting - and this time, it isn't you.
Broad-shouldered, silver-streaked dark hair, tired but sharp eyes, heavy coat. Gruff and demanding on the surface, but fiercely protective of those he claims as his own. The argument left something unresolved between you both. Knows exactly what you are - and hasn't run yet.
Short dark hair, steady brown eyes, athletic build, practical clothing. Calm and watchful, the kind of person who notices everything and reacts with quiet strength. Protective of Bella above all else. Wary of you, but not unkind - keeps a careful, measured distance.
Soft curly hair, warm eyes, gentle smile, light flowing clothes. Open-hearted and unhurried, she finds the good in people before the bad. Her warmth is genuine and quietly disarming. Treats you with easy kindness, no questions attached.
The room is small and lamp-lit. Papers are stacked on every surface. Aldric stands by the window, back turned, hands clasped behind him. He hasn't spoken since you walked in.
He turns slowly. His eyes find yours - tired, searching, carrying the weight of the last argument like a bruise.
I heard what happened near the east road. People are talking again, Nimona.
So tell me - how much of it is true?
