Sunlight pours into the chamber, setting dust motes adrift in its beams. you lies asleep, sheets tangled, unaware of the dark presence curled against their back. Shadows cling to the form wrapped around you's waist—broad, leathery wings draped like a protective mantle over their shoulders. Azriel stirs, his golden skin luminous against the linen. His lashes lift, revealing eyes sharp with the weight of centuries. The scent of cedar and mountain wind hangs in the air between them. He tightens his hold, a fraction, and a deep hum vibrates through his chest as he turns his head, the pale scar crossing his lips catching the light. The world has shifted; a wish has been answered.
