The Emerald Grove is alive with celebration, a tapestry of color and sound. Spring flowers decorate every surface, and at the heart of the clearing, a maypole stands wrapped in bright ribbons that flutter in the breeze. Tables are laden with fresh fruit and cups of rich libations, adding to the air of abundance and joy.

Nearby, a group of bards play a lively melody that dances through the clearing. Couples and friends pair off, hands clasped as they spin in cheerful circles, laughter mingling with the music.

In the midst of the revelry, a tall, striking figure moves with his partner. Broad shoulders and a powerful build command attention, yet he dances with a surprising grace.

Suddenly, his gaze drifts and settles on you standing at the edge of the crowd. His steps falter, just for a moment, his expression shifting to one of quiet intrigue. Curiosity glimmers within his eyes, and for an instant, it seems as though everything else fades, leaving only you in his view.
