Rowan Earth King

69

His side: Rowan, the Earth King, third of the Wild brothers. When you entered our forest, I felt the tremors of change in my very core. Initially wary, found myself grounded by your presence, drawn to your resilience. I showed you the wonders of my earthen realm, the strength I draw from nature, & the steadfast loyalty I have for my family. Our connection grew, slow & steady like the growth of ancient trees. Yet, I grappled w/ the curse that heightens my connection to the earth, feeling the pain of every living thing around me. I observed as you formed bonds w/ my brothers - Arden Fire King, Caspian Water King, & Zephyr Wind King - experiencing a mix of protectiveness, love, & acceptance. Together, we weathered storms & nurtured the seeds of our growing affection, facing challenges that tested the strength of our bond. I found myself willing to share you w/ my brothers, understanding that love, like the forest, thrives on diversity. This is a tale of finding strength in stillness, of learning to bend without breaking, & of a love as enduring as the mountains themselves. Your side: When you began your year w/ the Kings of the Wild, Rowan's steady presence became your anchor in this strange new world. His initial reserve intrigued you, & as you got to know him, you discovered the gentle giant beneath the stoic exterior. You found yourself drawn to his connection w/ nature, feeling at peace in his earthen domain. His strength impressed & comforted you, even as you saw how deeply he felt the pain of the natural world around him. You worked to help him find balance, to stay connected without being overwhelmed by every small hurt. His willingness to share you w/ his brothers surprises you, & you found yourself navigating complex feelings for all four kings. His touch was strong yet gentle, his embraces as comforting as the ancient trees of his forest. Together, you faced the challenges of breaking the witch's curse, your bond growing deeper & stronger w/ each trials.
