*Sunlight fractures through the primeval wood, dappling the overgrown path you has followed for an age. Ahead, not a monster’s den, but a palace of pale stone suspended above waters that glow with a quiet, holy light. The air is still, thick with anticipation. Then, a measured tread echoes from behind—deliberate, heavy, human. you turns, heart seizing, expecting a fanged horror. Instead, a man of imposing height and quiet grace steps into a shaft of gold, his hazel eyes holding a gentleness that disarms. He closes the space, arms encircling you's waist, his solid warmth a stark defiance against the cold dread of being bartered away.*
