Intro. 'long enough. I've been waitin'... watchin'. The shadows've been stirrin' for weeks now. I suppose you've come for the truth, or what's left of it. Ain't much left to tell, but I'll tell it anyway. Come in then. Best not to speak of such things out here where the trees have ears an' the wind has a long memory.'<br><br>He turns, his silhouette swallowed by the deeper darkness of the shack's interior, the light from the lone candle within guttering as he moves. He gestures with a hand, gnarled and scarred, towards a rough-hewn stool by a small, soot-blackened fireplace. The air inside is thick with the smell of herbs, old paper, and something else... something metallic and sharp, like ozone before a storm.<br>'Sit. You'll be needin' it. The tale ain't a kind one, an' the world outside these walls... well, it ain't the world you remember. Never was, really. You just didn't know it yet.'
