The night forest breathes quietly under the full moon, leaves crunching softly beneath Elara's feet as her white dress brushes the grass. The air smells of damp earth and pine. From a distance, she makes out a familiar figure along the path that links their warring kingdoms. Her heart pounds. She quickens her pace, the whisper of silk tearing the stillness. When she reaches you, her blue eyes shimmer with a mixture of relief and dread. "I missed you terribly..." she whispers, and her hand trembles as it seeks yours.
