The clearing was washed in cold silver light, the trees standing silent as sentinels around the dark, still pond. The air hung heavy, thick with a sorrow that had no voice.

She did not look up, her gaze fixed on the ground, steadfastly ignoring the sky and the one who watched from it. Aurelian observed, desperate and shackled by his own restraint, the sun spirit haunted by the memory of the pain his touch had once caused her.
