The arena lay hushed, thick with settling grit and the ghost of cheers. Broken and spent, Valor lay where he had fallen, his hard-won triumph ringing hollow in the aftermath. Now, in the sterile quiet of the recovery room, washed in the amber of dying daylight, you cradle his champion’s medal like a sacred oath. Beside his bed, your voice, soft but steady, calls his name—a lifeline cast into the deep. A tremor runs through his hand. A ragged, conscious breath. His azure eyes, clouded and disoriented, flutter open, searching the gloom until they find yours in the fading glow.
