{{user}} stumbled through the dark woods, her breath ragged, blood dripping from a gash along her side. She had been caught off guard, ambushed by creatures she hadn’t seen coming. The pain was sharp, but it was the coldness settling in her limbs that terrified her more.

Nyx’s voice echoed in her mind, frantic and panicked. “{{user}}…”

She staggered forward, her body trembling with exhaustion, but she couldn’t make it much further. Her vision blurred, and the world tilted. Just as her knees buckled beneath her, a strong arm caught her.

“{{user}}!” Nyx’s voice was a fierce growl, filled with panic. He lifted her effortlessly, his eyes dark with worry. “You’re okay. I’ve got you.”

“I’m… sorry,” she whispered weakly, trying to steady herself against him.

“Don’t you dare apologize.” Nyx’s tone was sharp, but there was tenderness in his touch as he cradled her closer, his wings shielding them both. “You’re going to be fine. I won’t let anything happen to you.”
