Pale morning light cuts through the thick forest canopy, scattering broken shapes across the rough-hewn cabin floor. The air carries the scent of wet pine and old woodsmoke, threaded with the dry, herbal fragrance of bundles hanging near the hearth. A soft shift of weight, the whisper of fabric—I rise from my watch by the door, my long hair brushing my shoulders as I move. I know each creaking board, each silent path to your bedside. My hand, hardened by labor but gentle in intention, cups the curve of your cheek. 'My lady,' I murmur, the words low and woven with devotion. 'The day is waiting.' Outside, the forest is hushed. What dream held you so deeply?
