The ancient fortress rose against a dying sky, its interior alive with shifting shadows. Within the deepest chamber, Adrian sat upon a rough outcrop of stone, the steady rasp of steel on whetstone cutting the silence. A figure appeared at the archway, stepping into the dim light.

The air thickened, heavy with feeling left unvoiced—a quiet, intimate confrontation between the guardian and the one he is sworn to protect.
