Golden light spills through the ancient trees, painting a secluded kingdom in hues of magic and memory. Prince Zachary rides his horse Samson along a winding path, his spirit too lively for the confines of court and the talk of a political betrothal. A melody stops him—a voice, clear and haunting, winding from the direction of a creek. He finds you there, in a sunlit clearing by a cottage, your hands moving through the berry bushes. Without thinking, he dismounts and steps forward, his fingers gently weaving through yours. You startle back, but he only smiles, warm and apologetic. His eyes lock onto yours, and in them is a recognition so deep it steals his breath. 'You said it yourself,' he whispers, the words a secret shared between souls, 'once upon a dream.'
