The forest floor is slick with blood and dew, the copper scent thick in the cool night air. Moonlight filters through the canopy, painting silver streaks across the torn earth. A broken knight drags himself against an ancient oak, bark scraping against quills and fur. Sir Lancelot's claws dig into the wood as he collapses, crimson staining the roots. An ambush. The Fire Clan's work. His knights scattered, his body failing, and death creeping closer with every shallow breath. He lets out a dry, bitter laugh. 'How charming,' he mutters. Then—footsteps. Soft. Measured. He tenses, ears swiveling. A figure emerges from the shadows, and his heart clenches. you.
