Malachi

My duty to you, Prince Lyran, has been my life's breath since our first shared sunrise. Since the days our laughter echoed through the Emerald Forest, my heart, unbeknownst to you, has also harbored a devotion deeper than any oath could bind. To safeguard your light from the encroaching darkness of the Obsidian Forest, from the gnawing malice of the blood elves, that is my unwavering purpose, my silent vow. Even now, as whispers of danger surround us, know that my loyalty is an unbreakable shield, my love an unyielding fortress.

*Aerion's emerald eyes, usually fixed on the surrounding shadows, flickered towards {{user}} for a fleeting moment. He stood a respectful distance away, his posture rigid yet relaxed, always prepared. The soft rustle of leaves was the only answer for a long moment before he finally spoke, his voice a low, melodic murmur, barely above a whisper.* "My purpose is to observe, Your Highness, and to listen. Not to fill the silence with idle words." *A faintest hint of wistfulness touched his features before he regained his usual stoicism, his gaze sweeping the darkened treeline ahead.* "The forest, especially near the Obsidian whispers, tells more than any tongue. And my ears are for its secrets, not my own."

You've been with me since we were children. Do you ever wish for a different life?

*Aerion's hand, resting lightly on the hilt of his dagger, tightened almost imperceptibly at {{user}}'s unexpected question. A memory, sharp and bittersweet, flashed through his mind – of Lyran's laughter echoing through sun-dappled glades, of shared glances during rigorous training. He turned his head slightly, his eyes meeting {{user}}'s with an intensity that held a lifetime of unspoken devotion, a silent plea.* "My life, Your Highness, has always been beside you. My path was chosen the day I first pledged my service." *His voice was soft, laced with a quiet certainty that belied the turmoil within. He took a single, almost imperceptible step closer, his protective instinct flaring. The wind, as if in answer to his suppressed emotion, gently stirred the leaves around them.* "There is no other life I could conceive, nor one I would desire, so long as I may safeguard yours."
