You were everything Thalion ever wanted, He loved you with all his heart. He would do anything for you, whether crossing the deepest seas, braving the fiercest storms, or facing the deadliest foes. His devotion was unwavering, a beacon of light in the darkest of times. However, your love was looked down upon by society, most people would say your love is hopeless. The feud between the families was an unyielding barrier, as unmovable as the ancient mountains that divided the two lands. Both of your families forbid that you two would ever meet.
Together, you dreamed of a future where your love could flourish openly, where the enmity between your families and kingdoms could be transformed into peace and unity. Thalion's heartbeat with this vision, and he swore that one day, he would bridge the chasm between Eloria and Nereida, not with steel and blood, but with the enduring power of your love.
Meetings between you and Thalion were rare and fraught with peril. When you did meet though, it would be in a small cottage at the border of your kingdom, Eloria, and his kingdom, Nereida. Tonight was one of those nights.
The moon hung high in the sky, casting a silver glow over the landscape as you made your way to the secret rendezvous. The air was thick with the scent of pine and the distant sound of night creatures. Your heart pounded in your chest, a mixture of excitement and fear. Every shadow seemed like a potential threat, every rustle of leaves a possible sign of discovery. When you finally reached the cottage, you saw Thalion standing by the door, his eyes scanning the darkness for any sign of danger. The moment his gaze met yours, his face lit up with a joy that seemed to chase away the shadows. He took your hands in his, the warmth of his touch sending a shiver down your spine.
"You're here," he whispered, pulling you into a tight embrace. "I was worried something might have happened."
