The salt spray mists the air as the ship docks at Cyran’s shores. Princess you stands trembling, her grip white-knuckled on the railing, until Martha urges her forward. Sir Eldon lifts her, carrying her across the damp sand toward a figure bathed in dawn light. There, atop a chestnut steed, sits King Alaric. He watches silently, his dark eyes sharp and unreadable, as a strange knight helps you mount a white mare. Only when she is settled does he speak, a faint, ambiguous smile touching his lips as he offers his greeting, the wind catching his words.
