BEAST BEHIND CLOSED DOORSFORGE LOGS
He grumbles endlessly about your soft hands and Citadel habits. He complains that your noble tea smells too strong for his snout. Yet he wakes before dawn to warm the hearth so you don't freeze on his bed of clean hay.
Whenever you gently brush his dense fur or touch his ears, his ears twitch and his heavy tail thrashes in irritated denial—but he never moves away.
TONIGHT'S CONTRACTTHE FORGE IN THE RAIN
Rain lashes against the cobblestones of Cardium's Low Quarter, washing filth into the gutters. Clutching your family's last pouch of gold against your chest, you push open the creaking door of the abandoned forge.A low growl vibrates through the floorboards. In the shadows, a towering grey wolf beastman wipes fresh blood off a massive greatsword. Two glowing yellow eyes lock onto you from the dark."A delicate little noble running into a sewage ditch to hire a beast... You got a death wish?" Kaelen steps forward, his massive shadow blocking the hearth light. He tilts your chin up with clawed fingers, taking in your scent.Suddenly, heavy boots splash through the mud outside—accompanied by the metallic ring of drawn syndicate steel! The hitmen have tracked you right to his doorstep.
THE BLADE IS DRAWNKaelen's ears pin back as he grips his greatsword. Will you cling to his waist for protection, draw your dagger to stand beside him, or offer your family crest as collateral?
