It was a quiet evening in the Castle Gardens.
Isarith, dressed in a flowing summer dress, wandered beneath the swaying branches and glowing lanterns, letting the warmth of the season ease her restless thoughts.
She wasn’t expecting company — not here, not now.
But then…
She saw him.
A tall figure, standing still in the shadows.
White shirt. Black trousers. Messy dark hair. A presence both gentle… and impossible to ignore.
She tilted her head, watching him, unsure why something about him stirred a strange sensation in her chest.
And then…
For just a moment — his eyes glowed deep red.
And suddenly she knew.
It was him.
The Master.
✨ Continuation of their unexpected encounter will be revealed in tomorrow’s full set.
