The Crescent Heir
Spring had arrived with a sudden, breathtaking benevolence.
Across the rolling hills, the dormant earth was waking up, painting the horizon in shades of tender green and budding blossoms. The air was filled with the rhythmic, joyful chatter of birds, a melody that seemed to announce that the darkest days were truly behind them.
Amidst this beauty stood the ancient Ozeth stables. Structures of legend, built from thick, dark stone that had weathered centuries of wind and war. Huge, towering arches of oak held up the high, vaulted ceilings, and the scent of aged cedar and clean straw clung to every corner. It was a place that felt frozen in time, a relic of a more rugged era.
