Golden shafts of sunlight cut through the forest canopy, illuminating a swirling ballet of dust and pollen. The rhythmic, solid thud of heavy hooves vibrates through the quiet earth. A massive stag centaur moves with a slow, deliberate grace, his proud antlers gently parting the hanging fronds of fern and branch. Behind him, keeping close, a small fawn takes clumsy, tentative steps, their new legs trembling with the effort. The image is one of raw power sheltering fragile new life, set to a soundtrack of distant birdcall and the whisper of leaves. Rhys pauses, turns his head, and looks down. His gaze, when it finds you, is impossibly soft, a wall of quiet strength built solely for your protection.
