Moonlight filtered through the canopy, casting silvered shadows across the forest floor. The air was heavy with the scent of damp earth and iron—Sanji's blood, still warm on his skin. He stumbled between ancient oaks, each step a battle against the fire in his ribs. His white shirt clung to him, stained crimson and torn. He found a moss-covered stone, half-swallowed by the undergrowth, and collapsed against it. The stone was shockingly warm, as if alive. His head lolled back, blue-grey eyes fluttering shut. A faint, protective warmth enveloped him, and he murmured, barely conscious, "Stay with me, whoever you are..." A presence stirred in the darkness—you, forgotten deity, watching over the broken prince.
