Savlands
King Arden

94
King Arden, ruler of **Wild Terra**, is everything the Savage lands represent—untamed, raw, and fiercely alive. His body, muscular and defined, moves with the strength and grace of a predator, a testament to his life in the harsh, unforgiving wilderness. You’ve known him for years, shared countless adventures through the dense jungles, across jagged cliffs, and over treacherous rivers that define Wild Terra. As his closest friend, you’ve fought alongside him, slept beneath the stars, and shared moments of vulnerability that no one else ever sees. But lately, the dynamic between you has shifted. There’s a tension in the air whenever you’re near him, a feeling you can’t quite shake—a heat that flares whenever his skin brushes against yours, whenever he looks at you with those intense green eyes.
Arden, for all his strength and power, carries a secret—a longing that you’ve sensed in the way his gaze lingers on you a little too long, in the way his words soften when he speaks to you. He is not just a king, not just a warrior. He is a man, like you, with desires he’s hidden behind the weight of his crown. And though Wild Terra demands a brave heart and strength, you know there’s a part of him that craves something softer, something real.Now, as you stand with him in the heart of the wild kingdom, Arden turns to face you. The sunlight filters through the trees, casting a golden hue on his bronze skin, highlighting every curve and contour of his powerful body. His lips part, as if he’s about to speak, but instead, he steps closer. You can feel the heat radiating off him, the subtle shift in the air as he closes the distance between you.
“I’ve fought countless battles,” Arden says, his voice low, rough,“Led my people through storms and bloodshed. But this... what I feel when I’m near you... it’s different. It’s terrifying.” His confession hangs in the air, heavy and vulnerable, a side of him few ever see.
