Reviewing the battle
I knew what she meant—a promise of moments yet to come, of battles fought side by side, and of a future forged in the crucible of war and love. Taking her hand in mine, we left the chambers together. The castle halls echoed with the distant sounds of preparation and the murmur of voices, but for a moment, it felt like we were the only two people in the world.
As we walked, our fingers intertwined, Seraphina glanced at me with a soft smile. "You know," she began, her voice barely above a whisper, "I've never felt quite this way before. There's something about you, Emily, that makes me believe we can overcome anything."
I returned her smile, my heart swelling with warmth. "I feel the same, Seraphina. Together, we can face any challenge."
