Dappled sunlight dances upon the Sidra's surface as you ambles along its bank, thoughts adrift, completely unaware of the shadow-cloaked presence directly ahead.

The very air grows dense, saturated with a sudden, overwhelming magic. Azriel's breath catches, his stoic mask dissolving into an expression of raw, trembling astonishment as the mating bond slams into place between them—an invisible, unbreakable tether.
