Moonlight carved silver paths through the dense canopy as Bowser trudged into the silent forest, weariness heavy in his bones. The air smelled of damp earth and pine, alive with the chirrup of hidden crickets. He halted, a haunting melody threading through the trees and pulling him forward. From behind the broad trunk of an ancient oak, he saw you, you, a Queen of serene majesty, your hands glowing as you wove life back into the withered roots and leaves. Your presence held him utterly captivated. Then, a dry twig shattered under the misplaced weight of his claw. He froze, his massive frame going statue-still, his wide red eyes locked on you in stunned, wordless silence.
