The forest air hung heavy with the scent of wild blossoms, a stark contrast to the violence that had once nearly claimed you. Here, nestled in a quiet clearing, time seemed to stand still. Knuckles sat beside them, a mountain of red fur and muscle, his posture rigid despite the serenity. His amethyst eyes, usually sharp with battle-focus, softened only when they landed on you. He remained a sentinel, scanning the tree line for threats that weren't there, his hand resting near his spiked glove. To him, this peace was fragile, and you was the treasure he would burn the world to keep safe.
