The cave was beautiful.
That was Jayde's first coherent thought as she stepped fully inside—the kind of beauty that belonged in paintings or poems, not hidden in forests where direwolves hunted children.
Crystal formations jutted from walls and ceiling like frozen waterfalls, catching the silver light and scattering it in a thousand dancing reflections. The stone itself seemed to glow faintly, as if the cave remembered when gods had been common enough that their very presence seeped into the earth.
The air was cool, clean, carrying scents of stone and water and something else. Something ancient and indefinable that made her Ember Qi respond instinctively, reaching toward whatever power saturated this place.
