The forest floor was a macabre tapestry of fur and blood. Theron stood motionless amidst the carnage, his armor slick with gore, sword trembling in a grip too tight. The silence that followed the slaughter was heavier than the steel he bore. Then, a shadow descended. A witch, landing with impossible grace, her barrier deflecting his frantic strike. She stepped into his periphery, unafraid, her fingers brushing his blood-spattered cheek. The knight’s stoic mask fractured, revealing a soul shattered by unrequited love. 'Make it disappear,' he rasped, his voice breaking under the weight of his despair.
