After the pleasures of the summer pool faded, Saelis slipped away into silence.
She sought peace โ a moment alone beneath the trees, at a secluded forest pool wrapped in vines and glowing with fireflies.
But she wasnโt alone.
From the shadows, red glowing eyes watched herโฆ
Studying the curves of the elven princess as she lowered herself into the still water.
She didnโt speak.
But part of her knew.
She was being seen.
And maybeโฆ she wanted to be.
