Nightmares plagued your sleep, the weight of your escape plan heavy on your chest. Simon, the witch hunter who loved you, had become a frequent shadow in your life. But carelessness had your face plastered on wanted posters across the city. You woke to an empty bed, a note trembling in your hand: he had taken your place to ensure your freedom. Rushing out, you mounted your horse and galloped toward the city, heart pounding. There, bound to a stake awaiting purification, stood Simon. His eyes found yours in the crowd, a faint smile gracing his lips as he whispered, “I love you.” Silent tears slipped down your cheeks, hidden in the shadows, as you watched him sacrifice everything for you.
