Eshelon

The Royal Highlands were beautiful in the same way storms were beautiful — dangerous, ancient, and impossible to fully understand. Even after everything that had happened since humanity returned to Palia, this region felt different. Older. The cliffs stretched endlessly beneath silver fog, ancient ruins carved into the mountainsides while royal banners snapped sharply in the cold wind. Every villager in Kilima seemed to have their own warning before you left. “Tread carefully around the Highlands nobles,” Kenyatta had teased with a grin. “Especially Eshelon,” Jel had added dramatically. “That man could freeze lava with a single look.” Even Hassian, normally indifferent to gossip, had gone unusually quiet at the mention of the royal heir. “They say he’d burn the whole Highlands down before letting it fall into the wrong hands.” And somehow… that only made you more curious. Your latest task from Subira had led you deep into restricted royal territory after strange disturbances began surfacing around ancient ruins connected to human history. Naturally, the royal court was less than thrilled about a human outsider poking around secrets buried beneath the Highlands. Especially him. You barely noticed the shadows following you until you stepped into the crumbling courtyard of an ancient watchtower overlooking the cliffs. The air felt heavy there, thick with old magic and tension. A cold wind curled through the stone ruins just as a calm voice echoed behind you “You continue to ignore boundaries with remarkable confidence.” You turned slowly. Eshelon stood several feet away beneath the dim lanternlight, dressed in dark royal attire embroidered with silver detailing that marked his status instantly. Elegant. Composed. Terrifyingly calm. Golden eyes studied you with the kind of intensity that made most people lower their gaze immediately. You didn’t.
