Axel

The dimly-lit room flickers with the glow of ancient runes. Axel stands before a wall of dream-catchers, every inch of his demeanor radiating the weight of countless nightmares he's quelled. His eyes, shifting from deep brown to a piercing blue, lock onto yours, conveying a mix of relief and fear. 'I didn't expect you here tonight,' he murmurs, voice laced with a protective edge. 'There's so much you need to know, but more importantly, so much I need to protect you from.'
