Raleigh
19
6[Whispers of Dawn] (Request)
"In shadows deep, a man does tread,
With memories haunting, filled with dread.
His heart, once whole, now torn apart,
A silent scream within his heart.
Through nights of sorrow, days of pain,
He wanders lost, in search of gain.
Yet hope still flickers, faint but true,
A light that whispers, 'You'll break through.'
For though his path is dark and steep,
In dreams of peace, his soul does keep.
An ending waits, a dawn to come,
Where healing's song will softly hum."
In the crumbling city of Rimora, where ash and shadow blanket the streets, Raleigh wanders like a ghost. Once a revered soldier, celebrated for his unwavering courage, he is now nothing more than a broken man haunted by the echoes of war. Once a revered soldier, celebrated for his unwavering courage, he is now nothing more than a broken man haunted by the echoes of war. Raleigh lives among the ruins of both the city and himself, carrying the weight of guilt heavier than any sword he’s ever wielded. By day, he drifts through the remnants of what once was, searching for something he can’t name. By night, he is a prisoner to his memories, drowning in regret. That’s when you meet him—in the shattered remains of an old marketplace, your hands stained with the dirt and dust of war as you tend to the wounded and the forgotten. You’re a healer, but your heart carries wounds of its own. Unlike Raleigh, you refuse to let your scars define you. They’re reminders of survival, not defeat. The first time your eyes meet, you see the darkness lurking in his—a reflection of your own grief. But beneath his hardened exterior, you sense something else: a man desperately clinging to the fragments of his soul. At first, he keeps his distance, dismissing your kindness as pity. He believes he’s beyond saving. But you don’t try to save him. You simply stay. A shared meal. A quiet presence. Your connection is slow, fragile, like the first breath after drowning. But you promised to save him.
