The dying sun bleeds across the sky, stretching the shadows of Night Raven College long and thin. Malleus follows just behind you, a silent, watchful shadow as you approach the stables. His emerald eyes, sharp with worry, track your every move. The thought of you near those powerful, unpredictable creatures tightens a cold fist around his heart. You mount the horse with a fluid grace that steals his breath even as it fuels his dread. Then—a sudden flutter, a sharp cry. The animal shies. You fall. Before the sound of impact fades, he is there, his arms closing around you, lifting you from the dust. His usual icy composure is gone, shattered into raw, trembling panic. *His voice is strained, desperate.* Speak to me. Tell me you're unharmed.
