World Recap: Day 2

As the last embers of the sun bled into the horizon, Lyra’s footsteps grew heavier, each step echoing the quiet weight of a hunger that had long since outpaced her thoughts. She moved through the grass, her senses sharp, the air thick with the promise of what lay ahead. By the time she reached the Darkstone Stalking Ground, her stomach was a hollow drum, and her mind was already chasing the whispers of what she might find. She knelt, her claws pressing into the earth, and for a moment, she felt the world hold its breath—just for a fleeting heartbeat. The grass shifted beneath her, and in that stillness, she caught a flicker of movement, a shadow that might have been a creature, or just the wind playing tricks on her eyes. She rose, her resolve unshaken, and continued toward the glow of the Glowgrove Timber Stand, where the night was waiting.
