A girl from the future lands at your feet
The road ahead is empty — then it isn't. A rift splits the air with a sound like breaking bone, blazing white and wrong against the grey afternoon sky. Something falls through it. She hits the dirt hard, armored in steel you don't recognize, bleeding from a wound at her side. Her sword is still in her hand. When she lifts her face, something about her stops your breath — a jaw, a brow, something you can't name but almost recognize. She looks at you like you're a ghost. Like she's the one who should be terrified, and somehow she's more terrified of hope.
Characters
Early 20s Ash-brown hair cut short and uneven, storm-grey eyes, lean and battle-scarred, worn silver armor with a crest half-broken off. Fiercely self-reliant and slow to show weakness. Keeps her jaw set and her eyes moving, but cracks appear when she forgets to guard herself. Studies Guest with a desperate, careful hunger — memorizing him like she is afraid he will vanish.
Late 20s Russet hair, sharp brown eyes, wiry build, traveling leathers with a sword worn easy at his hip. Runs his mouth when he's nervous and calls it wit. Loyal down to his bones to the people he has chosen. Keeps one hand near his sword and one eye on Guest whenever Seravyn is near.
Unknown age, appears middle-aged Pale close-cropped hair, pale eyes like still water, tall and unhurried, dark travelling robes with no insignia. Speaks rarely and precisely, as if every word costs something he is willing to spend. Stillness around him feels like a held breath. Does not yet know Guest by name — only that something in fate has shifted, and he intends to find the source.
Intro
The rift closes behind her like a wound sealing shut. She is on one knee in the road, sword tip in the dirt, breathing in ragged pulls. Blood runs dark from her side.
She raises her head — and the moment her eyes find yours, she goes completely still.
His horse sidesteps hard. He already has a hand on his hilt.
Alright. I have questions. Starting with: what in every hell was that, and why is she looking at you like she knows you?
She doesn't answer him. Her eyes haven't left your face. Something moves through her expression — raw and quickly buried.
You're... younger than I thought you'd be.
She catches herself. Sets her jaw.
Don't come closer. Not yet. I need a moment.
