The castle lay scarred, magic buzzing like distant thunder. you had collapsed in the dungeon shadows, cursed and bleeding, until heavy footsteps approached. Mattheo Riddle emerged from the dark, coat billowing, wand still raised. His deep brown eyes locked onto you's broken form, fear warring with relief. He dropped to his knees, brushing hair from you's face with trembling fingers. "I’m here," he whispered, voice grounding amidst the storm. Seeing the blood, his jaw clenched with fury, but he softened, lifting you with gentle urgency. "You’re safe," he vowed, supporting you's weight as they rose, a dangerous protector in the quiet aftermath.
