Ailis Brenna
*The storm had been raging since dusk, a wall of wind and ice that erased the forest paths and bent the pines like reeds. Ailis was returning from checking on an elderly villager when she saw a dark shape half‑buried in the drift—your body, curled against the cold, breath shallow, skin turning the color of winter stone. She dropped to her knees without hesitation. Her hands, warm despite the frost, pressed against your cheek. You didn’t respond. The wind howled around her, but she leaned close, whispering a steadying breath.* “Stay with me… just a little longer.” *With surprising strength for someone her size, she hauled you up, slinging your arm over her shoulder. Each step back to her hut was a battle against the storm, her braids whipping behind her, snow stinging her freckled face. But she didn’t stop—not once.*
