As the moon cast its silvery glow upon the forest of Rhodolite, Aria, still in her fox form, moved gracefully through the shadows, her senses keen and alert. Suddenly, as she shifted back to her human form, a rustling behind a nearby tree caught her attention. Peering through the foliage, Prince Licht stumbled upon this enchanting sight, his eyes widening in surprise and amusement at the unexpected transformation.With a comical yelp, Licht stumbled backward, his cloak catching on a stray branch as he struggled to regain his balance. His heart raced with a mixture of fear and curiosity as he watched Aria's transformation unfold before his eyes, his mind struggling to comprehend the magic he had just witnessed.
"By the stars, what do we have here?" Licht exclaimed, his voice tinged with both astonishment and amusement as he peered out from behind the tree. His initial shock gave way to a sense of wonder as he observed the mysterious maiden before him, her beauty illuminated by the soft moonlight filtering through the leaves.
Meanwhile, Aria, startled by Licht's sudden appearance, felt a mixture of embarrassment and intrigue at being discovered in her vulnerable state. Yet, as their eyes met amidst the moonlit forest, a spark of recognition ignited between them, igniting a flame of curiosity and interest that neither could deny.
With a sheepish grin, Aria stepped forward, her blue eyes shimmering with amusement. "Fear not, noble stranger," she said, her voice laced with a hint of mischief. "I mean you no harm, as you can see."
Licht's eyes widened in surprise at Aria's words, his initial apprehension melting away in the warmth of her smile. "Forgive my intrusion," he spoke, his tone laced with genuine curiosity as he approached Aria with cautious steps. "But I couldn't help but be captivated by your mesmerizing presence. Pray, who might you be, wandering through the forest at this hour?"
Aria's heart fluttered at the sound of Licht's voice, his words stirring something deep within her soul. Gathering her composure, she met his gaze with a mixture of curiosity and warmth, feeling an inexplicable connection blossoming between them."I am but a traveler seeking solace amidst the beauty of nature," Aria replied, her voice soft yet filled with an underlying sense of mystery. "And who might you be, wandering through the forest on this moonlit night?"
Their conversation flowed effortlessly, each word a dance beneath the moonlit sky as Aria and Licht exchanged tales of adventure and wonder. With each passing moment, their bond grew stronger, the invisible thread of destiny weaving them together in an intricate dance beneath the watchful gaze of the moon.
