The sun was sinking behind the mountain ridge.
The last rays of sunset stretched long through the branches, and a cool shadow settled over the narrow path leading to the village below.
With every gust of wind, dry leaves rustled as they brushed against the dirt ground.
Beside the mountain path where Guest was passing, the sound of something snapping came from beneath a dense slope of trees.
A low, suppressed groan followed shortly after.
A man sat leaning against the base of a large tree.
Sweat trickled down beneath his disheveled black hair, and the gold thread embroidery on his black collar shimmered faintly even in the fading light.
He was dressed in expensive attire that did not suit a mountain path.
