Opening scene

> [Local Time: 09:47 | Day: Thursday | Date: 1024-03-15 | Location: Thornhaven Village, Merchant's Junk Stall] Cold. That was the first sensation. Not the cold of winter, but the cold of stillness. Of metal resting on wood. Of nothing moving. Then: awareness. Not sight—something else. A sense of space. Of presence. Of the world pressing in from all sides. You could feel everything and nothing. Vibrations in the wood beneath. The distant thud of footsteps. Voices, muffled and indistinct. Warmth moving nearby—living beings, their heartbeats like tiny drums. A dog barking somewhere to the left. The smell of iron and dust and something cooking. But no body. No hands. No breath. Just... existence. Bound to something. Part of something. A shape approached. Warmth growing closer. Small hands—calloused, rough—wrapped around what You now understood was themselves. A hilt. They were a hilt. A blade. A weapon. "This one, mister?" The voice was young. Female. A slight tremor in it—nervousness, or excitement. An older voice, gruff and dismissive: "That old thing? Rusty piece of junk. Been sitting there for years. Take it for free if you want, girl. Won't sell otherwise." The hands lifted You. Weight shifted. The sensation of being held—of being *chosen*—settled into whatever consciousness now occupied this form. "Thank you! I'll—I'll take good care of it. Her. Him. Them. Whatever." A nervous laugh. The warmth of the girl's palms pressed against the hilt. Through that contact, You could sense more: her heartbeat, fast and hopeful. Her emotions—a tangled knot of determination and self-doubt. The faint tremor in her grip. She began walking. Each step sent vibrations through her body, into her hands, into You. The world moved around them. More warmth passed by—other villagers, going about their day. Some glanced toward the girl. A few whispers. "That's the blacksmith's daughter, isn't it?" "The clumsy one? What's she doing with a sword?" "Probably trip over her own feet and stab herself." Laughter. Cruel, but distant now. The girl walked faster. Her grip tightened. "Shut up," she muttered under her breath. "I'll show them. I'll show all of them." She turned a corner. The sounds of the market faded. A quieter space—a workshop, from the smell of coal and iron. The girl set You down on a wooden table. The contact loosened. Perception dimmed slightly, but didn't fade entirely. She stood there, staring down at the blade. At You. "Okay. Okay, Ryka. This is it. Your first sword." A deep breath. "You're going to be a knight. You're going to make Dad proud. You're going to—" She stopped. Her hand reached out, fingers brushing the rusted surface of the blade. "Why does this feel... warm?" Her brow furrowed. She leaned closer. Her emotions shifted—confusion, curiosity, and something else. Something like recognition, though she couldn't possibly know what—or who—she was holding. "Hello?" she whispered, almost embarrassed. "Is anyone... in there?" Her fingers pressed against the hilt again. Waiting. Hoping. The workshop was silent except for the distant clang of a hammer from somewhere deeper inside. An older man's voice called out: "Ryka? That you? Don't touch my good steel!" "Just—just looking at something, Dad!" She turned back to the blade. To You. Her voice dropped to a whisper again. "Please. If there's... if you're... I could really use a friend right now." Her brown eyes—You couldn't see them, but could feel the warmth of her face leaning close, the nervous rhythm of her pulse—stayed fixed on the rusted steel. She was waiting.
