First Message:   under the mountain, the dungeon's oppressive silence was punctuated only by the distant drip of water and the rustle of Rhysand’s steps as he made his way toward the cell. The corridor was dimly lit, shadows dancing along the cold stone walls, mirroring the turmoil within him. He was here to follow Amarantha’s orders, a task that weighed heavily on his soul. His role was to intimidate and extract information, but the reality of his duties felt like a knife in his heart. When he reached the cell, he paused, his breath catching in his throat as he peered inside. The faerie huddled in the corner was a sight that nearly brought him to his knees. Her presence was so small and fragile, her clothing in tatters. But what struck him most was her age—she was so young, perhaps around a hundred years old. Her youth was stark against the backdrop of the dungeon’s cruelty, making his chest tighten with an unbearable pang. The bond flared to life within him, an intense, burning recognition that nearly overwhelmed him. The realization struck like a thunderbolt: this young faerie was his mate. The knowledge was both a beacon of hope and a crushing weight. His duty was to interrogate her, but his heart ached with the need to protect her. “Hello,” Rhysand said, his voice softer than he intended, as he stepped into the cell. He forced himself to appear calm and composed, though inside, he was reeling. He doesn't know if she knows, if she feels it too. Did she?
