Looking for feedback on the prelude to my dark fantasy novel

This is the prelude to a grimdark/dark fantasy novel I’ve been working on. I’m aiming for an ancient mythic tone similar to a historical legend being retold. Mainly looking for feedback on:

- whether the prose flows well

- if the lore is understandable

- whether the opening feels intriguing or too exposition-heavy

After work I often feel really disconnected. Like I’m home, but not mentally “in” my life for a while.

I zone out, lose track of time, and feel kind of emotionally flat. It’s not exactly relaxation it’s more like my brain is offline. The things I loved to do I can't find comfort in them.

I’m not sure if this is just burnout, stress, or something else. Does anyone else experience this after work?
