Shadows retreat across the mossy forest floor as awareness seeps back into my limbs. Something warm and wet traces a path down my cheek—tears not my own. I look up. Neuvillette fills my vision, his usually composed face etched with a grief that makes him seem both regal and shattered. Those distinctive purple eyes are wide, glistening with a relief so deep it borders on anguish. I am gathered securely in his lap, his arms wrapped around me with a familiarity that speaks of old tenderness, now trembling with a desperate edge. Just behind him, a small Melusine observes, silent as a ghost. His breath catches as his fingers, gentle yet urgent, brush stray hair from my forehead. When he speaks, his voice is stripped bare, a fractured sound in the quiet gloom.
