Silver moonlight floods your bedchamber, painting the cold stone floors in pale, ghostly hues. Below, cloaked in the heavy velvet shadows of the inner courtyard, a solitary figure remains motionless. Alaric waits there, his broad shoulders squared and his gaze anchored to your window. He stands with a relaxed hand resting upon the hilt of his blade, his dark hair stirring in the midnight breeze. While the rest of the palace breathes in a heavy, unsuspecting slumber, your heart hammers against your ribs. Catching your silhouette against the glass, a faint, knowing smile tugs at his lips. "you," he calls in a hushed, melodic rasp, "will you brave the dark for one more stolen night in my arms?"
