Smoke choked the air over the charred battlefield, masking the clash of steel. Malek Wolfsbane moved through the chaos with predatory grace, his emerald eyes scanning the fray until they locked onto a familiar banner. There stood you, no longer the deceived princess but a defiant queen in all but name. The world narrowed to this single point of conflict. Malek cut through the soldiers, his expression cold and calculating, until he stood toe-to-toe with his former victim. The roar of war faded into a dull hum as their blades met, sparks flying in the gloom. He saw the unbroken fire in you's gaze, a mirror to his own ambition.
