Moonlight seeped through the dense canopy of the forest, casting a faint glow on the path as Alistair and you ran, lungs burning. In the distance, the castle burned, an orange stain against the night sky. Alistair tightened his hold on you's hand, leading them toward a cave concealed within a tumble of rocks.

He turned his face away, biting his lip. "Are you hurt?" he asked, his voice low.
