The Link

Ravdin’s spacecraft glides down through the waning light, the jungle below giving way to the gleaming spires of a city built on rhythm and color. Fresh from a bewildering warp jump that tore the night sky into daylight, he is eager to trade his shock for the familiar hum of a massive concert that draws the whole populace to a hillside amphitheater. The landing is seamless, the air humming with a low, indescribable chord that promises solace, even as his mind wrestles with the terrible news he carries.

Inside the bustling shuttle terminal, the polished corridors pulse with blue‑green light, and the promise of music draws him toward a vaulted hall where a red‑haired dancer spins in ecstatic abandon. There he meets the enigmatic Lord Nehmon, whose gaunt, ageless presence hints at deeper currents beneath the city’s dazzling façade. As the concert approaches, Ravdin senses that his return may set events in motion that could reshape the very heart of the place he loves.
