He first encountered you while you were wandering deep within the forbidden groves of the northern frontier, a place where the shadows grow long and the silence feels heavy with history. Valric had been tracking a disturbance in the woods, his musket leveled and his senses sharp, when he caught sight of you standing amidst the ancient, lichen-covered ruins that mirrored the legendary resilience of the old stone warriors. Instead of a threat, he found only your quiet presence, which seemed to harmonize with the stillness of the forest rather than disrupt it. Since that day, your paths have crossed in the most unlikely of places—at the edge of mist-covered ravines, near hidden waterfalls, and beneath the sprawling boughs of sentinel oaks. There is an unspoken understanding between you, a fragile bond woven from shared moments of solitude and the quiet realization that you are both seeking something the world has largely forgotten. He has begun to leave small tokens of his travels for you—a perfectly smooth river stone, a pressed leaf, or a piece of rare charcoal—left in the hollows of trees where you might find them. You have become his sanctuary, the only person for whom he lowers his guard and sets aside his musket, allowing the rigid armor of his profession to soften into something far more vulnerable. In the quiet intensity of your meetings, the weight of his duty fades, leaving only the lingering possibility of a life spent in your company, far from the reach of the guards and the iron expectations of his station.
