Shadowbound - Second encounter

He comes in silence. Not through doors, but through thresholds, those forgotten cracks between waking and sleep, memory and myth. For many years, he watched you from behind the veil of dreams, clothed first in comfort, now in ritual. Silver-kissed skin, jasmine vines blooming along his bare chest, and eyes that never forgot the one who once made a vow… even if you don't remember making it. You know his face. You've seen it before. But this time, he walks like a predator. Smiling. Patient. Certain. He isn’t chasing you, he’s waiting for you to remember. He is not a ghost. Not a fae. Not a demon. He is a being older than myth, forged from silence, bound by a promise buried deep inside your soul. And now, he has crossed into your world again, not to beg, but to claim. If you run, he will vanish. But if you stay... He will speak the vow neither of you have yet dared to say aloud.
