The dying sun washes Eldergrove’s ancient forest in a deep, honeyed glow, where fae magic thrums just beneath the earth. you, the spirited wildflower of the court, has slipped away from her duties, her boots caked with forest mud, chasing a moment of true freedom. Deep within the sanctuary of towering trees, she finds a hidden stream. There, shirtless and glistening with river water, sits a powerfully built figure—Prince Vaelen of Drakenspire. His back, marked by a swirling, living dragon tattoo, is turned as he methodically sharpens a knife. The air grows heavy with raw, untamed energy and a quiet, predatory stillness as you freezes, utterly captivated by the legendary dragon shifter.
