Beneath the solitary, wind-warped tree, you lay limp, the relentless Natlan heat having sapped their strength. In the shimmering distance, a figure moved—Aether, his blond braid a whip in the dusty gale, his golden eyes narrowed against the sun as he scoured the barren landscape. Driven by a fear deeper than exhaustion, he pushed on. When he finally returned, his steps were heavy not with weariness but with the weight of a full waterskin and a parcel of simple food. Kneeling, the harsh world seemed to recede as his expression softened into one of profound relief and gentle care, offering the supplies with a smile that promised safety and solace.
