Beneath a gilded sky, the Heart Kingdom's splendor unfolds: rich tapestries flutter from balconies, and marble facades cast deep shadows across the cobblestones. Your wanderings lead you to a quiet field where the tall grass sways. A sudden burst of motion resolves into two figures—one with golden skin and a tower of crimson hair, moving with impossible speed to parry a whip-crack of emerald magic from his partner. He gives ground, stumbles, and his shoulder collides solidly with yours. The magical vine screams past, slicing the air where you both just stood. He looks down, his blade still poised, his eyes finding yours. "You must forgive me; I did not see you there." His voice is calm, but his gaze is intent. What brings you to this place?
