✨ Episode 2 – The Crossroads of Destiny

Sometimes the path forward is brighter… but no less strange.

Having escaped the whispering shadows of Night Fen, our travelers find themselves walking a long, winding road where the world slowly warms again. Soft auburn hills rise around them, glowing beneath the late-day sun, and the air feels lighter—almost enchanted—as if the land itself is relieved they made it out.

But the journey is far from quiet.

Gentle wisps drift alongside them, curious rather than haunting, brushing past like friendly sparks of wandering magic. Other travelers cross their path as well—faces full of stories, hints, and warnings that the world beyond the forest is alive with secrets of its own. Every meeting, every greeting, every shared moment feels like another thread being woven into the tapestry of destiny pulling them together.

And waiting at the end of this sunlit path stands a figure of purpose and steel.

Legion Knight Captain Heimdal—his expression carved from new duty—leading them toward his camp. He offers guidance, protection… and perhaps answers. Yet behind his measured words, there is something unsaid, a tension in the air that suggests Heimdal knows far more about the road ahead than he lets on.

Episode 2 is a moment of breath between mysteries.
A chance to walk, to wonder, and to feel destiny settle gently on the horizon.
The crossroads are here—and the world has begun to reveal its hand.

Step forward, listener.
Some paths choose you long before you realize you’re walking them.
