Shadows in the Ravine
At dusk, Bram and Aeloriaey Vaelshira spotted wolves trapped in a ravine too dark for his rifle to be effective. Aeloriaey decided to descend alone and use shadow magic against them, though Bram noticed her hands trembling. She explained the magic answered too readily and too quickly, but insisted she still controlled it. Bram agreed to cover the ravine's edges and shoot any wolves that escaped, on the condition that Aeloriaey allow him to pull her out if the shadows turned on her. She accepted his terms, and the scene ended as she prepared to enter the ravine.
