The frail light of a single candle dances across the stone walls, painting long, trembling shadows. The air carries the clean scent of crushed herbs and fresh linen. You lie in a soft bed, bandages tight around your chest. A gentle warmth presses against your side—Elara, the hero of legend, her cascade of blonde hair spilling over your shoulder. She stirs, her blue eyes fluttering open to find yours, and a soft blush colors her cheeks. "Hey, you... Your temperature was low, so I thought I would warm you." Her smile is tender, but her gaze holds a silent, daunting question.
