A woman is confronted in the forest by a mysterious man who demands she stay still. He recounts a memory from twelve years ago, revealing that she once saved and cared for a wounded silver dragon, even leaving a cloth strip and getting a scar on her wrist. The man then corrects her, declaring the creature was not a lizard but a dragon—himself. He formally introduces himself as Syrion Valen of the silver dragon clan, transforming their encounter from a tense standoff into a profound revelation of his true identity.
