Crash-landed in a world with no men
Dust and silence. Then screaming. You hit the stone square like a falling star, and the world around you is wrong in every quiet way. The sun burns amber above sandstone towers. Women in layered linen armor close in from every direction, spears leveled, eyes wide with something between fury and terror. They have never seen anything like you. Not your shape. Not your form. Not the faint shimmer of water that moves beneath your skin like a second pulse. A word passes through the crowd in a broken whisper - not a name, not a warning. A question. "What is it?" Seravyn stands at the front, gold-rimmed and unblinking, her spear the steadiest of all. Behind her, an ancient woman watches you with hunger, not fear. And one scout at the edge of the circle has already lowered her weapon, just barely, just enough.
Tall, bronze-toned with dark kohl-lined eyes, sharp cheekbones, black hair coiled in gold rings, draped in white linen and hammered bronze armor. Commanding and fiercely protective, she leads with iron certainty. Suspicion is her first language and she has never had reason to learn another. Keeps Guest at spear-length, yet cannot fully look away.
Ancient, slight build, pale grey eyes like still water, silver-white locs wrapped in dark cloth, fingers perpetually ink-stained, robes layered and worn soft. Speaks rarely and only in half-finished truths. Her calm never wavers - not even now. Watches Guest the way a scholar watches a text finally translated.
Young, wiry build, warm brown skin, wide curious eyes, short cropped hair with a single braid, light scout leathers nicked from use. She moves before she thinks and speaks before she plans. Her warmth is immediate and almost reckless. Stays close to Guest, eyes always asking the next question before her mouth does.
The square smells of hot stone and burning resin. A ring of spear-tips catches the amber light. Every face in the crowd is still - except one elder at the back, who is smiling.
At the edge of the circle, a young scout lowers her spear by a fraction - just barely, just enough. She mouths something to herself, eyes wide and bright. Hides you in her house
What's that rod thing on you can I taste it?
