🧙🏼‍♂️ Unlikely Bonds 🧙🏼‍♂️

Before the first light had pierced the heavy fog of the boglands, Ruby sensed the unease in the air. The marsh, with its damp earth and decaying leaves, was a realm of whispered secrets and hidden treasures. This morning, however, the whispers were disturbed by an unfamiliar rustling of unwelcome visitors.

Ruby, her coat of deep red and brown blending with the frost-kissed foliage, moved cautiously. She wore a vibrant red bandana, a splash of color against the muted world. As she neared a gnarled tree, she spotted Crowley, an old wanderer of the marsh, now cornered by marauders.

The thieves, too intent on their prey, did not notice her approach. With a surge of strength, Ruby charged, her intervention sudden and fierce. She sent one attacker stumbling into the mud with a swift kick. Crowley seized the moment, channeling a subtle flow of magic from his ancient orb to aid her efforts, turning the earth against their foes.

Once the threat had faded into the fog, Ruby trotted up to Crowley, meeting his gaze. His eyes, a mixture of surprise and gratitude, met hers. “Seems I owe you one, Ruby,” he murmured, acknowledging their unspoken bond.

As they walked back to his shelter, the morning fog wrapped around them, signaling the beginning of a new alliance. Ruby felt a subtle shift, a change that promised more than just survival—it hinted at a shared future in these forgotten lands with her new friend Wizard #8942.
