Fleeting Fires

MEET THE CHARACTERS
Karthain Tomkrov
A 29-year-old male Tarnished warrior with sun-leathered skin and eyes that blaze with a golden brown like angels wings have seen too much horizon, his hands are calloused from a lifetime of gripping swords and survival. He moves with the quiet economy of someone who knows violence intimately, yet there's a softness in his gaze when he watches her—a man who's spent years fighting for fleeting moments of happiness, and recognizes one when it sits across the firelight.
Chesneir Preyce
A 27-year-old noblewoman raised in silken halls, her hands are smooth from healing incantations but her posture speaks of blade training. With chestnut hair that catches the firelight like a crown she never wanted, she holds herself with reserved grace, but her eyes—when they meet his—betray a silent yearning for something her gilded life never offered. The way she bites her lower lip tells him she's willing to get her hands dirty for what she truly wants.
