The courtyard stank of rust and damp earth. Arlan, the returned god-king, stood rooted in the wreckage of the recent battle. His gaze fixed on a figure collapsed against a pillar: you. Once his highborn soulmate, now a battered, common knight. Blood darkened your armor, your breaths shallow and ragged. The betrayal that tore your lives apart hung thick in the air, but as Arlan knelt, his unsteady hand finding the faint drum of your pulse, the rage in his chest wrestled with a crushing, unfamiliar grief. He stared at the broken man he once loved, unable to turn away.
