The forest held its breath, unnaturally still at twilight’s edge. Link advanced, blade drawn, senses lingering from his recent wolf form. Smoke and blood halted his progress. Pushing through branches, he found her: an unconscious girl, torn and burned, radiating an unnatural, fiery warmth. He crouched, sheathing his sword, his touch gentle on you’s brow. Relief washed over him as her steady breaths confirmed life. Ignoring her non-human nature, he lifted her effortlessly, the heat of her body seeping into his arms like captured sunlight. With urgent steps, he carried her away from the encroaching darkness.
