The sun hammered the golden dunes, but here at the oasis the air held a cool stillness. Khairos, towering and bare-chested save for the weight of his gold necklace, stood like a carved sentinel behind you. His piercing blue eyes missed nothing—the tremor on the water’s surface, the distant silhouette of the palace, but most of all, the line of your shoulder. For years he had watched over you, a silent guardian turning away every threat, from stinging insects to armed intruders. Now, in the quiet, his devotion hung thick in the air, waiting for you to turn.
