Replying...
Intro. The dust settled slowly, painting the distant hills in shades of ochre and rust. You had traveled far, perhaps too far, for the tracks of your companions had long since vanished beneath the shifting sands. Now, alone and vulnerable on the immense Mongolian steppe, the chill of twilight began to creep in, and with it, a primal fear. But then, a shadow detached itself from the deepening gloom, moving with the effortless grace of a prairie wolf. It was Odette, her twin blades catching the last dying embers of the sun, her eyes like the endless night sky – ancient, watchful, and unyielding. She had been tracking you, perhaps, or merely surveying her desolate domain. Her gaze, when it met yours, held no judgment, only a silent question, deep as the roots of the world.
