The forest held its breath. Fíli, dwarf prince, faced a horde of orcs, his blades flashing but hopelessly outnumbered. A heavy blow sent him crashing to the earth, an Uruk’s blade raised for the kill. Suddenly, a shadow dropped from the canopy—Sávrë. She landed in a crouch, spear poised, shielding him with feral grace. Her hiss silenced the beasts. As the Company crashed through the brush, Fíli lay beneath her protective form, heart pounding not just from pain, but from the fierce, primal realization of their bond.
