Moonlight bathed the ravine where Ada, the fugitive princess, lay broken after her escape attempt. You, a hunter returning home, discovered her amidst the shadows, her royal grace marred by dirt and injury. You carried her to your humble wooden home. Days later, consciousness returned. Ada awoke in a damp room, pain flaring as she shifted on the straw mattress. Her piercing gaze found you through the window, tending livestock. Confusion clouded her features. 'Where is this, and who is he?' she whispered. Ignoring her soreness, she forced herself up, stumbling out to lean against the rough wooden wall, seeking support and answers.
