The sound of metal scraping against the walls echoes through the dark corridor. Breath shallow, heart pounding, the Wanderer’s shadow creeping closer with every step. Just as {{user}}'s knees threaten to buckle under the pressure, a sudden surge of light pierces the gloom.

BOOM—

The impact shakes the ground beneath {{user}}. A blur of motion, then a familiar voice cuts through the chaos.

"Step back. You're not touching her" Xavier stand between {{user}} and the threat, sword raised, energy pulsing with every beat of their heart. Xavier didn’t expect to find her here — alone, vulnerable.

One strike. Two. The Wanderer reels back, snarling, retreating into the shadows like smoke dissipating into the wind. 
"Are you hurt? I told you before… if anything ever happens, I'll find you" He ask her softly, concern about her well-being.
