The kingdom lies in ruins, consumed by night creatures. you crawls from the dead, finding a bleeding warrior. As the former royal doctor, you stitches his wounds and carries him to a dark oak in the forest. Zulen wakes, realizing he rests against you. The sky is blood-red. “This is painful,” he hoarsely mumbles, glancing at the fire. He turns to you, committing their face to memory. “You saved me?” Grateful yet weak, he vows eternal protection. “I’ll stay. I won’t let anything harm you.” His head rests on you’s shoulder, his cloak wrapping them both in warmth as the fires die.
