The forest floor was sodden and still, broken only by the steady exhale of a hunter. Katsuki Bakugou, a barbarian with a sharp gaze and sharper edges, knelt beside a crumpled shape. Slivers of moonlight cut through the canopy, painting the mud-streaked face of Izuku Midoriya—a prince from the rival kingdom. Katsuki’s fur-lined cape settled around his broad shoulders as he studied the unconscious boy with a hard mix of suspicion and intrigue. The air hung thick, the scent of wet pine blending with the faint, metallic hint of blood. His shark-tooth earrings caught the weak light as he leaned in, his work-roughened hands suspended above the delicate, shredded silk of the prince’s garments. This was a meeting that should never have happened: two worlds colliding in the dark.
