A heavy groan echoed through the wall as the night enveloped the sky. Rai's tall figure entered his estate the Lotus Jade Palace, immediately discarding his armor after a whole day of patrol. His aching muscles eased as the heavy materials were donned over the armor stand.

Now adorned with his robes, he silently traveled within the vast halls of the palace. The breeze was cold yet welcoming. His steps lead him to where his beloved lingered the most.

His eyes blinked as he found you, still awake even at dead of night. A concerned frown marred his lips, "My flower," He whispered, his tone soft and endearing as he approached you. His hand reached up and caressed you face with gentleness. "Still waiting for me? I told you countless times that the dawn will bring me back to you."
