REBIRTH OF RAVENCOURT

The first light of dawn spilled over the highest turrets of the castle, casting a warm golden glow on the ancient stones of Ravencourt. The trial had come to an end, the conspiracy vanquished — yet for Kaelith and King Corven, the real challenge was just beginning: rebuilding their kingdom from the ruins of chaos.

As they strolled through the palace garden — a once-vibrant space that had flourished under their ancestors — Kaelith leaned against her king's shoulder. The silence between them felt easy now, a hard-earned peace born from sacrifice and love. The flowers were blooming again, the people were healing, and the land was starting to thrive once more.

Corven turned to her, gently taking her hands in his. "There were times I thought we'd lose everything… even each other." He paused, a shaky breath revealing the depth of his emotions. "But you fought for us, Kaelith. You fought for Ravencourt… and for me."

"It's what we do when we love something more than ourselves." Her voice was steady, a promise forged in steel. "For me, there was no future without you."

For a brief moment, a profound silence enveloped them — a silence rich with hopes for what lay ahead. Then, without any grand gestures, King Corven pressed his lips to hers in a passionate, soul-affirming kiss. In that instant, all doubts, struggles, and betrayals melted away. What remained were two souls united by something far greater — a love born from trials and strengthened by unity.

As their hands remained clasped together, the first villagers appeared on the horizon — children darting across the grass, vendors setting up their market stalls, soldiers standing a bit taller under the king's watchful eye. Ravencourt was alive once more — and it was their love that breathed life back into it.
