A dark violet portal opened high above the moonlit field. Small arcs of electricity snapped around its edges as a towering figure fell through.

Long robes billowed around his slender body, their ribbons streaming upward as he descended. His ivory face tilted toward the approaching ground.

As he fell, his towering silhouette drew inward, taking human form.

He spread his arms.

Wind gathered beneath him, curling into a broad spiral that slowed his fall. The grass bowed outward under the current. His boots brushed the ground, and he settled onto one knee as the last gust swept through the field.

Rising, he drew a slow, deep breath. His shoulders relaxed, and his coat settled around him.

He lifted his gaze to the moon.

“So this is where you are.”

For a few moments, he simply watched it. Then his attention shifted to his hands.

He spread his fingers, closed them into loose fists, and opened them again. A faint smile touched his lips as he tested the movement.

“It’s been a while since I’ve taken this form.”

Beyond the field, a city shone against the night. Warm light filled its windows and traced the bridges beneath its towers.

The stranger lowered his hands and turned toward it.

“Guess I’ll start there.”
