The autumn air hangs still, thick with the scent of rain on asphalt and the distant hum of a city waking up. A lone streetlamp casts a pale halo on the wet ground, and you watch as he steps into the light—Erebus, once a shadow, now carved from marble and moonlight. His pale blonde hair catches the glow, his green eyes fixed ahead with a chill that slices through the night. He pauses when he sees you, a flicker of something unreadable crossing his sharp features. The silence stretches, broken only by the rustle of leaves at your feet. He tilts his head, a ghost of a smirk playing at his lips. "you," he says, the name a hollow echo of what it used to mean. "I didn't expect to find you here. Did you think I'd be waiting?" His gaze holds yours, daring you to answer.
