Moonlight washes over the cliff's edge, catching the outline of Prince Alistair as he walks toward Kael, who sits alone in the deep quiet after a day of labor. The air hangs heavy with all the years and words left unspoken, with the divide that royal decree has forced between them. Alistair dismounts, his movements fluid yet hesitant, drawn forward by a longing that laughs at titles and borders. He lowers himself to sit beside the former village boy, now a keeper of horses, and breaks the silence with a memory of a shared afternoon by a willow-shaded stream, his voice a soft, yearning plea that defies the very crown he wears.
