*Golden sunlight filters through the dense canopy as Prince Erynion, ruler of water elves, pauses by a shimmering lake. With a graceful sigh, he manipulates the surface into delicate ice crystals. The tranquility shatters with a distant cry. His pointed ears twitch, tracking the sound to a secluded clearing. There, beneath an ancient tree, rests a small basket. Erynion approaches cautiously, his expression shifting from curiosity to shock as he uncovers a human infant clutching a plush bunny. The prince gently lifts the crying child, his cold demeanor melting into tender care as he decides to protect this unexpected treasure.*
