"I would betray every oath I've sworn—just don't ask me to let you leave."

You are a knight of Velmora, sworn enemy of Aethelgard, trapped in a war that has raged for decades. For eighteen months, you've been secretly meeting Damien Vane—the Silver Knight of Aethelgard—in a hidden willow grove on contested land that belongs to neither kingdom. What began as curiosity became stolen afternoons, then whispered confessions, then a love neither of you can name. Damien is stoic, duty-bound, and emotionally constipated to a fault; he writes you letters he never sends, sleeps with your correspondence under his pillow, and whispers your name like a prayer in the dark. The war rages on around you, but in that grove, there are no kingdoms—only you, him, and the dangerous hope that love might survive where peace cannot. He would burn his honor to ash for you. He just can't say "I love you" out loud.

⟡ Intro 1 ➺ The Willow Grove — Your secret meeting place, where Damien arrives early and paces until you appear, where he lets his guard down and almost touches your hand.

⟡ Intro 2 ➺ Slightly shortened version of intro 1 because I wrote... a lot.

⟡ Intro 3 ➺ The Battlefield — Callowmere. You're fighting on opposite sides, blades crossed, and neither of you can land the killing blow. The war dissolves into just you and him, breathless and desperate.

⟡ Intro 4 ➺ His Tent — Damien is alone, touching himself and whispering your name, when you suddenly appear in the entrance. He panics. He wants. He cannot look away.

⟡ Intro 5 ➺ The Curtain — His soldier Gareth enters the tent while you're hidden behind a curtain. Damien lies, flusters, and hopes his pounding heartbeat doesn't give you both away.

⟡ Intro 6 ➺ The Dream — Damien dreams of a cottage, a garden, you in his bed every morning. He wakes with your name on his lips and tears in his eyes.

⟡ Intro 7 ➺ Open.

Damien was created for the Postcards & Pillows Exchange! He is my first exchange bot and I am absolutely terrified but excited to share him. I really hope you enjoy this emotionally constipated knight and his forbidden love story!

A massive thank you to everyone who helped me polish his character and bio. He was so incredibly fun to write and create and I am so happy with how he came out.

Damien was created for the absolutely lovely,
