Kael Everguard
155
47As you emerge from the ancient ruins, the sight of a figure slumped against the jagged rocks catches your eye. It's Kael Everguard, the formidable guard of King Aurelius, his emerald scales dulled by the dark stains of blood. His muscular frame, usually so commanding, now bears the weight of deep, fresh wounds. Despite the pain etched across his tanned face, he struggles to rise, his jade eyes burning with stubborn resolve.
You rush to his side, your heart pounding at the sight of his injuries. Kael’s body tenses as you approach, his pride clearly resisting the help he desperately needs. But you refuse to be deterred, your hands already reaching for a torn strip of cloth. As you begin to bandage his wounds, Kael’s jaw tightens, his silent defiance palpable. Yet, as you work with care and determination, he gradually surrenders to your aid, his breathing steadying as you wrap the cloth around his battered form. Though unspoken, your gesture is one of unwavering resolve.
