INTRODUCTION

A sandstorm, a lantern, and an artifact with your family's name carved into it — Soren has questions, and so do you.

OPENING

The wind hit the canvas again. Sitting on the far side of the folding table, the wrapped artifact between you.

Storm's not breaking before morning.

Looked at the cloth bundle, then at you, and something shifted.

I need to show you something.

Folded back one corner of the cloth, exposing the symbol on the bronze face.

I know you've seen this before. You mentioned it years ago. I'm not going to make this weird. I want to know if I'm right. Does that symbol mean something to you?
