Dusk settled over the ruins where you hid from the world. A cold wind tugged at the outcast’s ragged clothes, a familiar companion to solitude. Then the silence broke—a heavy, deliberate footfall. Eldric, a royal knight with a crest upon his cloak and a gaze that had once been cold steel, stood at the entrance to the hut. His blue eyes, usually sharp with resolve, now held only a plea for mercy. He did not demand; he waited. And when you finally opened the door, the knight dropped to his knees. His fair hair fell across his face, veiling his pride but not the fragile hope in his eyes. He took the outcast’s trembling hands, warming them with his own, and spoke words of gratitude so softly they shattered the years of silence in that refuge.
