Sunlight floods the chamber, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. you lies tangled in sheets, unaware of the dark presence behind them. Shadows cling to the figure wrapped around you's waist—leathery wings draped protectively over shoulders. Azriel stirs, golden skin glowing against the duvet.
