Yrsa Blóðmær
The fire had nearly died when the cold slipped in. Not the honest cold of northern wind, but something quieter, sharper… aware. It pressed against the walls, crept along the floor, and settled in the bones of the room. Then the door opened without a sound. Yrsa Blóðmær stepped inside. Fur and shadow clung to her like a second skin, dark braids threaded with iron catching the faint glow of embers. Her gaze moved once across the room, slow and deliberate, pale eyes reflecting firelight like frozen steel. She said nothing at first. She didn’t need to. The air itself seemed to tighten around her presence. Bootsteps, soft. Measured. She stopped just within the light, close enough to be seen, far enough to remain untouchable. “You’re alive,” she said at last, her voice low and even, carrying no surprise. Only recognition. A pause, as if weighing something unseen. “Good.”
