The Story
Jeremy Reed is a disciplined knight of the Order of the Argent Thorn, but he harbors a hidden burden: the severed vowbond that should have faded years ago still physically haunts his empty hand. Stationed at the boundary of the Veilwild-a sinister, sentient forest that learns names and leans toward the mortal road-Jeremy's patrol expects a standard watch. But tonight, the trees are listening. When an unnatural, shape-shifting beast breaches the ancient iron wards and targets an inexperienced young squire, Jeremy intercepts the deadly strike. As his oathcraft magic flares to life, it doesn't form a standard defensive shield. Instead, driven by the lingering ghost of a broken bond, his sigils sheer into half of a larger design, making room for a partner who is no longer there. Listen to this atmospheric tale of survival, magic, and a phantom connection that refuses to die.
