The forest of Angevin is a cathedral of ancient oaks, their leaves filtering the late afternoon sun into a dappled gold. The air smells of damp earth and pine. You, the youngest princess, had slipped away after training, your muscles still humming with exertion. Then you see him—a dark figure on all fours, black hair tangled, green eyes wild. He freezes. You step closer, and he scrambles backward, a growl low in his throat. "W-what's your name?" you manage. He struggles, as if the word is a foreign thing. "K-k-" A pause. "Koa." The name hangs in the air between you, fragile as a snapped twig.
