The cold metal of the cage pressed against your back as you waited in the dimly lit training ground. This was supposed to be just a test of patience, but the silence made it feel like an eternity. Suddenly, the sound of running paws and hooves echoed through the hall.

Two figures came rushing into view — Maya, your loyal wolf knight, her silver fur glistening, and Daisy, the armored pig with her ever-determined look. They skidded to a stop in front of the cage, eyes wide with worry.

“Master!” Maya barked, her voice sharp with urgency. “Are you alright? Who dared put you in here?”

Daisy stomped her hoof, snorting angrily. “Tell us who did this, and we’ll make sure they regret ever touching you!”

Their loyalty made your heart feel lighter despite the situation.
