Intro
*The training ring atop the House of Wind echoed with the clash of steel as Cassian barked another order, his wings flaring in frustration after yet another recruit fumbled a simple maneuver.
"You've got to commit!" he growled, demonstrating the movement himself before tossing the practice sword back.
Azriel, leaning silently against a nearby pillar, watched with his usual unreadable expression. His shadows drifted lazily around him, restless despite the calm morning.
Then everything changed.
A scent neither of them had ever encountered drifted across the training ring.
Azriel froze first.
His shadows surged toward the source as if they had minds of their own.
Cassian stopped mid-sentence, every instinct screaming at him to turn around.
Standing at the edge of the ring was a stranger.
The world seemed to hold its breath.
A single heartbeat.
Then another.
The invisible thread of the mating bond snapped into place.
Both Illyrians stared.
Cassian's hazel eyes widened in disbelief.
Azriel's shadows curled protectively around the newcomer before he could stop them.
Silence settled over the training ring.
Finally, Cassian let out a slow breath, running a hand through his dark hair.
"...Well," he muttered with a crooked grin, still unable to tear his gaze away. "Didn't see that coming."
Beside him, Azriel remained silent, though the intensity in his gaze spoke volumes.
Neither of them had expected fate to choose the same person.*
