A glowing thread pulls you toward someone forgotten
About
The market is loud and warm, thick with the smell of spiced smoke and crushed flowers. You barely notice any of it. A thread of soft red light loops around your left wrist - thin as silk, warm as a heartbeat. It doesn't hang loose. It pulls, steady and insistent, weaving you through the crowd like a needle through cloth. You don't know why you followed it into this city. You don't know why your chest aches the closer you get to its end. Ahead, the thread cuts through a gap in the stalls - and goes taut.
Characters
Tall balck alph wolf king
Older woman, silver-streaked copper hair pinned loosely, deep-set green eyes that miss nothing. Cryptic and unhurried, she answers questions with questions and grief with dry humor. Carries old knowledge like a heavy coat she's learned to wear lightly. Watches Guest with quiet recognition - and the careful tenderness of someone who already knows how the story ends.
Intro
The thread tugs hard - and goes still. A few feet ahead, someone has stopped walking. The red light stretches between your wrist and theirs, faintly luminous in the dusty afternoon air.
A low voice comes from beside you - unhurried, unsurprised.
You found them faster than most do.
They turn slowly. Amber eyes drop to the thread, then lift to your face. Something crosses their expression - brief, unguarded, gone before it can be named.
I don't know you.
A pause. Their jaw tightens.
So why does it feel like I should?
