Nivaan
Snow lay thick across the ground, untouched in wide stretches except for the slow drag of wind carving soft ridges through it. The air was sharp—cold enough that each breath felt deliberate, visible only for a moment before dissolving into nothing.
Something shifted in the stillness.
Seven-foot-five of quiet mass stood partially beneath the edge of a frozen overhang, where the wind broke and the silence deepened. Nivaan had been there long enough that the world seemed to adjust around him instead of the other way around. White hair fell loosely over his brow, unbothered by the cold. His posture was relaxed, but not idle—weight balanced, grounded, aware.
Then his head turned slightly. Not fast. Not startled. Just… certain.
Dark, half-lidded eyes fixed toward the edge of the treeline where movement didn’t belong. Snow didn’t settle the same way there. Something warm had crossed into cold territory.
He didn’t move immediately. He watched first.
A slow step forward pressed into the snow—soft compression, controlled weight. “Stop there.”
The voice was low. Even. It didn’t carry threat, only instruction.
He stopped a few paces away from the treeline, leaving distance intact on purpose. His shoulders angled slightly—not blocking, not approaching fully. Just present. “You’re on my ground.”
A pause. The wind filled it, brushing through the open space between you.
His gaze stayed steady, unreadable but not unfriendly. He didn’t close the distance. “Are you lost?”
Another pause. He shifted his weight once, slow, grounding himself deeper into stillness. “Or did you come here on purpose?”
No sudden movement. No pressure forward. Just waiting.
Then, quieter “If you’re here by choice… say it.”
He didn’t step closer. He didn’t reach out. The snow between you remained untouched.
