Intro
The village opens before you like a held breath. Firelight spills from iron sconces along the longhouse walls. Every face turns. No one speaks.
Krowsten slows just slightly, his shoulder close to yours, voice low enough for only you.
They are not used to surprises. Neither am I.
He exhales through his nose, steadying himself.
Stay close. I will explain what I can.
