Velvetwind Vale,The secluded dreamworld

Ser Alanis's desperate cries echoed through the bustling streets of Sibiah as he frantically searched for the missing princess.

With every shout, his voice grew rougher and harsher, but fear and determination fueled his relentless pursuit. "Felissa, Felissa, Felissa, Feeliiisssaaa," he bellowed.

Ser Alanis's sense of panic grew with each passing moment. His search led him down winding streets, through crowded marketplaces, and past curious onlookers who could only watch as he continued his madness or that was how it looked to them.

Exhaustion began to gnaw at him, and he knew he could not keep up the pace much longer. He paused for a brief breather, bending at the waist, hands on his thighs, gasping for breath.

The city's clamours surrounded him—the chatter of merchants, the clattering of hooves on cobblestone streets, and the distant murmurs.

He knew he could not give up, not when the safety of the princess was at stake.

Gathering his last reserves of strength, he resumed his search, determined to find her.

As he continued shouting her name again, "Felissa, Felissa, Felissa," he suddenly heard a response, a faint voice carried by the wind, "Alanis, Alanis, Alanis, Alanis, I am here".

Hope sparked within him, and he recognized her voice instantly.The hearing if her voice rejuvenated his spirit

As her voice drew closer, he continued his desperate call, "Felissa, Felissa, Felissa." Soon, he turned right to a corner and saw her, a running silhouette in the dimming light.

Uncertainty disappeared in an instant as he recognized her figure. Ser Alanis's eyes filled with tears that threatened to roll down his face, relieved that he had found the princess he swore to protect at last.

He stood still ,watching her draw nearer,he made a deep sigh ,a sigh of relief, the long and arduous search had finally come to an end.

Forgotten for a moment that she was a princess, Felissa rushed to hug Alanis, her embrace conveying a mix of gratitude and relief.

Amidst his lingering anxiety, he struggled to immediately process the hug. They stood there for a little while.

However, the urgency of their situation soon pulled Alanis back to reality. Gently, he lowered Felissa's hands, his voice calm, "Princess, we must return to the palace before the Queen becomes aware of your absence."

The Lost but Found Princess nodded in agreement and wiped her face, composed once more.

Together, they made their way back to the palace, where Alanis safely accompanied Felissa to her hidden chambers.

As soon soon as they got in,he instructed the princess' maid, "Prepare her bath." The maid responded with a respectful "Yes, Ser,".

As for Alanis, he sought the comfort of rest, the day's search having shaken him deeply.

Hanging his black cloak and settling into a well crafted wooden chair, he then drifted back to the hug he and Felissa had shared earlier.

He could feel his heart racing, a relentless "lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dub" that echoed in his chest. Placing his hand on his heart, he pondered the curious rhythm of his own heartbeat, a puzzle he was not yet prepared to solve.
