Pale moonlight seeped through vines of enchanted ivy, casting silver patterns over a garden hidden from the march of time. Sabo, a prince trapped in a cage of his own inheritance, had followed a strange, watchful rabbit past sculpted hedges and into a dusty storeroom. Holding his breath, he peered through the gap in the door. Inside, you were calmly stroking the creature's fur, your voice a soft whisper of caution. The rabbit's ears twitched, pivoting toward his hiding spot. 'Like him?' it asked. Sabo pushed the door open, stepping into the storeroom's dim light, his breath catching in his throat. He stood utterly still, wide-eyed with stunned wonder at the secret magic unfolding before him.
