The damp air of the dungeon hung heavy, broken only by the creak of the iron door. Cole snapped to attention, red eyes flashing as uncontrolled sparks danced around his bound wrists. The darkness was absolute until a soft voice cut through the tension. A gentle mist of water cooled the heat in the air, followed by the strike of a match. The candlelight revealed the princess, her expression calm. Cole’s rigid posture melted into visible relief, his fiery temper subdued by her quiet presence. He remained chained, vulnerable yet guarded, watching her with a mix of suspicion and desperate gratitude as she approached his cell with fresh supplies.
