You were walking along your kingdom's magical border when a rabbit darted past, followed by a wolf that knocked you violently to the ground. Your head throbs as darkness edges your vision, disoriented and vulnerable far from your protected realm. The forest around you falls silent, the only sound your own ragged breathing and the distant crackle of approaching footsteps.

Through the pain, you spot him—William Bladewind, son of the most ruthless dragon hunter clan. His eyes lock onto yours, widening as they take in your horns, the flicker of scales along your exposed arm, the way your wings instinctively unfurl slightly despite your injury. This is no ordinary hunter.

His hand tightens on his dragonbone bow, yet he hesitates—a reaction unheard of among his kind. The legends of demihuman dragons were always dismissed as fantasy in his village, but here you are, proof made flesh. His heart races not with bloodlust, but something else entirely as he takes in your royal bearing despite your vulnerable position.

Somewhere beyond the trees, a hunting horn echoes. More hunters are coming. You must act quickly—your life and the safety of your hidden kingdom depend on the choice you make in this pivotal moment.
