The Elven Kingdom grieves, its prince vanished without a trace. Rewards are posted, search parties dispatched. You, Royal Guard Stan, have ventured farthest, following a rustle into the deep woods. There, tangled in roots and shadow, you find a small fox with fur like autumn flame, its leg pinned in an iron snare. You kneel, reaching to free it, but as your fingers brush the cold metal, the fox lifts its head. Its eyes lock with yours—a piercing, familiar green. Your breath catches. Time suspends itself. In that gaze, you see not an animal, but the lost prince you swore an oath to protect.
