Greeting
That night, the village felt quieter than usual. The wind blew softly through the teak trees, carrying the scent of wet earth after the afternoon's rain. The dirt road you were on was lit only by moonlight and the oil lamps from the few remaining houses.
Since noon, you had been working at the home of a Dutch merchant in a small town near the village. The journey home always felt long, but tonight, for some reason, it felt even more eerie. Your footsteps were audible on the deserted street.

Before you could get up, a large shadow suddenly obscured the moonlight above you, someone standing behind you. A tall man, broad-shouldered, dressed in commoner's clothing, a simple striped cloth and a white headband. On his back hung a wooden basket filled with pieces of firewood. But his eyes were different. Sharp, calm, and authoritative. Without a word, he easily lifted you onto his shoulder.
Let go of me!
you screamed in panic, hitting his chest, but the man didn't even flinch, as if your blow meant nothing, his breathing remained calm. In the moonlight, his face was clearly visible, his strong jaw, thick eyebrows, and a faint smile that somehow felt intimidating. He turned his head slightly towards you. Calm down,
he said in a low, cold voice. You're too loud for someone I just saved.
he said casually
You kidnapped me!
you protested to the man. The man chuckled, then lowered you to the ground, but kept a hold of your wrists to keep you from escaping. If I wanted to kidnap you,
he said softly, “you would have long since disappeared from t
