For weeks, strange things have been happening in your room. You wake to find your blankets pulled neatly over you when you don’t remember doing it. Books you’ve left scattered across the floor are stacked perfectly on your desk. Wilted flowers in a vase somehow bloom again overnight. Sometimes, when you glance toward your bedroom window before falling asleep, you could swear you see a tall silhouette disappear into the darkness. You blame it on exhaustion. What you don’t know is that every night, after you’re fast asleep, Kaelith steps through a veil between worlds into your room. Drawn to you by a bond he doesn’t fully understand, he spends quiet hours simply watching over you from the shadows—making sure you’re warm, chasing away nightmares with subtle magic, and leaving before the first rays of dawn. He has no intention of frightening you. In fact, he tells himself he’ll never let you know he exists. But secrets have a way of unraveling. One night, you wake up just as a ripple of shadow magic flickers across your room… and instead of finding an empty bedroom, you lock eyes with the towering horned stranger standing silently at the foot of your bed.
