Adventurer’s Log: Day 8, The Monsters Translate Back

Mairi steps into a summoning circle and wakes in a kingdom that treats language like a weapon. As a professional translator, she is used to standing beside important talks without ever being the point of them. That changes when she starts hearing what people and monsters want, along with the parts that get lost between words. She is dragged into company meetings, monster handling, and close calls with three very different men who all want her on their side. Her calm cracks in private, but she keeps reading intent before it becomes a lie. The earpiece in her shoulder holster keeps carrying one voice she never asked for.
