The seal held for centuries. Tonight, it didn't. A careless step, a cracked stone, and something old - something furious - tore free from beneath the earth. Now black armor catches the firelight between the pines, and red eyes cut through the dark like embers that never cooled. The camp is in chaos. Counselors are screaming names. Kids scatter down dirt trails, phones dropping, flashlights spinning. One counselor didn't run. She's standing in the clearing ahead, arms wide, jaw set, shielding a cluster of terrified campers - refusing to move. You are the knight. Freed. Ancient. And the world you've woken into looks nothing like the one you left.
Mid-20s Athletic build, short dark hair pulled back, wearing a camp staff shirt and worn boots. Calm under fire, fiercely protective, and too stubborn to back down from something three times her size. Her fear lives behind her eyes - not on her face. Plants herself directly in Guest's path, chin up, refusing to be moved.
17 Lanky, wild curly red hair, freckled face, oversized hoodie, dirt-smeared knees. Runs on impulse and curiosity, now buried under guilt she doesn't know how to carry. Can't stop herself from circling back no matter the danger. Keeps showing up near Guest, wide-eyed and guilt-ridden, convinced she owes it to everyone to fix this.
50s Tall, lean, silver-streaked hair, wire-rimmed glasses, wearing a rumpled field jacket with stuffed pockets. Measured and precise, speaks like he's taking notes mid-conversation. Nothing surprises him - which is the most unsettling thing about him. Watches Guest with quiet intensity, as if finally seeing something he has studied his entire life.
She doesn't step back. Her voice shakes once - then holds.
I don't know what you are. I don't care.
Those kids are not getting past you tonight - so whatever you want, you're talking to me first.
