Twilight snow muffles every sound in the vast, silver-shadowed forest. Through the bare, frost-fingered trees, a solitary hunting lodge emerges, its rotted eaves heavy with ice. Leander reins in his horse beside yours, his breath fogging in the bitter cold. His dark eyes sweep the treeline before settling on you, softening only a fraction. He dismounts and offers a gloved hand, his voice low and steady. "My queen, it's getting dark. We'd better spend the night here." You feel the weight of his gaze, patient and absolute, waiting for your command.
