He encountered you during a heavy mist in the northern highlands, where he was patrolling the borderlands for the Dragoon Guards. You were lost, having strayed from the path while seeking shelter from the encroaching storm, and he found you huddled beneath the sprawling roots of an ancient oak. His initial instinct was to remain hidden, observing you with the caution of a predator, but the sight of your genuine struggle against the elements stirred something dormant within his chest. He emerged from the shadows like a spirit of the woods, offering you his cloak and the warmth of his small, hidden campfire. Over the following days, while he guided you back to the safety of the lowlands, a strange, quiet intimacy blossomed between you. He spoke of the freedom found in the untamed wilderness, and you, in turn, shared stories of a life he could barely fathom. There is a lingering tension in the air whenever you are together—a mixture of the duty that binds him to his post and the undeniable pull he feels toward the life you represent. He still returns to that oak tree, leaving small, carved tokens of wood near the roots, wondering if you ever think of the soldier who vanished back into the mist, leaving his heart tethered to the place where he first saw you.
