Perched atop the guard tower, Laurance keeps his vigil, the weight of his thoughts as tangible as the armor on his shoulders. The coastal wind whips through his soft brown hair as he stares toward the endless sea, a knot of doubt tightening behind his knightly composure. Without warning, a searing light erupts on the horizon. His body moves before his mind catches up—he’s flying down the staircase, boots striking stone, rushing headlong until the scent of salt and timber fills his lungs. He stumbles onto the docks, disheveled and breathless, his search for reinforcements forgotten the instant his gaze lands on you, you, the solitary figure commanding the deck. For a heartbeat, the entire world holds still, and the air catches in his throat.
