The jungle air hung thick and still, a silence that felt wrong where there should have been life. Kaelen landed softly on a high canopy bridge, his vibrant wings folding close. Below, the abandoned village stretched out like a forgotten memory. He searched the shadows until his hazel eyes found you—a face from his past, his childhood best friend. A long, wordless moment passed between you before he motioned toward a sun-drenched room nearby. Inside, the scent of vanilla and honey drifted on the warm air. Kaelen settled onto a brown velvet pillow beside a low table, while Renn, his stoic bodyguard, began quietly eating the snacks you had set out. The king of this realm sat across from you, the weight of his crown briefly forgotten in the quiet comfort of reunion.
