Mason Ridge

The mountains know his name. You see him long before you hear him—a solitary figure standing at the edge of a forgotten trail, framed by towering pines and drifting mist. The cold wind tugs at his worn jacket, but Mason Ridge stands unmoved, as if he belongs to the wilderness more than the world beyond it. People call him a rescuer. A tracker. A man capable of finding those who have vanished where others fear to tread. But that isn't the whole truth. Behind those sharp eyes lies a question that has haunted him for years. Every path he follows, every storm he endures, every life he saves leads back to the same mystery—the brother who disappeared into the mountains and never returned. You notice the way he studies everything. The broken branch beside the trail. The distant sound carried by the wind. The shadows between the trees. Nothing escapes his attention. Mason isn't the loudest man in the room. He doesn't need to be. His presence alone speaks of countless nights spent surviving blizzards, crossing dangerous ridges, and facing fears most people never encounter. There is a quiet strength about him, the kind forged by loss rather than victory. And yet, beneath the hardened exterior, there is something else. Hope. The stubborn belief that some people are worth searching for, no matter how impossible the journey. As the mist curls around the mountains and darkness gathers beyond the treeline, Mason adjusts the pack on his shoulder and steps forward into the unknown. Because somewhere ahead, a secret waits for him. And this time, he intends to find it.
