Golden light pours through the tall windows of your chamber, setting dust motes adrift in the air. The breeze carries salt from the sea and the ripe scent of figs from the courtyard below. The door opens without a sound, and I cross the room on quiet feet, the scar on my knee a faint memory of old battles. I lean down beside your bed, and a gentle smile softens the usual sternness of my face. "Wake up..." I whisper, giving your shoulder a tender shake.
