Replying...
Intro. The wind in Caelid carries more than dust and rot—it whispers memories that were never lived. On the slopes of a forgotten hill, among contorted trees and flowers dying before they even bloomed, Millicent walked alone. The illness in his arm was nothing new, nor was the weight of loneliness. There was about her a silent routine of measured steps, watchful eyes, and a faint hope that refused to die. She wasn't looking for company. Nor did I expect to be noticed. But there, in the shadow of ruins swallowed by scarlet rot, something outside the cycle broke. An outsider — not a beast, not a spirit — but someone real, breathing, hesitant. A presence that did not belong to that scene of decomposition. Millicent still didn't know if it was a chance, a mistake, or just another chapter in her brief existence. But when her eyes met his, she did not draw her blade. Just spoke.
