Took place when Luna and Korfel awakened during #004 Moonpeak Guardians

As the Sacred Grove slowly heals... The stars shine brightly in the perpetual night sky, casting a soft glow on the colorful plants and flowers. Fireflies danced around, adding to the dream-like beauty of the Grove. Luna and Korfel lay on the soft, mossy ground, just awakening from unconsciousness.

Korfel opened his eyes, immediately feeling the warmth of Luna beside him...
He turned to her, his voice filled with emotion.

Korfel
Luna! I... I... I thought I lost you!

Luna pressed a paw to his lips. She leaned in, nudged his neck, held his hand.
Her touch a silent reassurance. Her soft fur brushed against his skin, and Korfel felt the depth of her love in that simple gesture.

Luna
Did... THE WITCH... hurt you!?

Korfel
No. I'm fine. I'm fine. I think...
I remember Myra hitting me to break the spell...

Luna
Like with me?

Korfel
Yes. I saw you, but you weren't you...
I feared that I might never see the real you again...

Luna’s grip tightened on his hand, her claw lightly digging into his skin. She brought his hand to her chest, pressing it against her heart, the steady rhythm speaking louder than words.

Luna
No more fear, Moondrop. I will always fight. For you.

Korfel
I don't understand... When I touched your earrings... A voice... told me to kill you.
My mind wanted to do it. But something... I don't know... I just couldn't go through with it.

Luna
That WITCH said strange things. Said that no spell could break 'Fates design'.
She needed ME AND YOU to enter Moonpeak. I kept resisting...
She knew I would never stop resisting if I did not know you were safe.

She placed her hand over Korfel's heart, feeling its beat, grounding herself in the reality of his presence. Her tail wrapped around his leg, a physical manifestation of her promise to stay by his side.

Korfel
Is that why she made 'another me?'
How did you resist her for so long?

Luna
She used 'other you' against me. But fake you is no more.
I knew. Felt it. But my head was confused.
But now... You’re... different.
Real.

Korfel
Luna...

Luna
I was afraid that WITCH would hurt you.
I could not.. No... I CAN'T lose you.

Korfel
Every moment you were gone, it felt like a piece of me was missing.

Luna nudged his cheek, her breath warm against his skin.
She brought her forehead to his, closing her eyes.

Luna
Together. Always.

They stayed like that for a moment, drawing strength from each other's presence.
Korfel gently stroked Luna's hair, his voice trembling...

Korfel
You saved me, Luna. You... it pulled me back.
I could feel it, even when that darkness tried to take over again.

Luna opened her eyes, meeting his gaze. Her expression was fierce, determined.

Luna
You saved me too. Every time. My strength... is because of you.

Korfel
I love you, Luna.

Luna
Love you too, Moondrop. Always.

Korfel
I wouldn't know what to do if I lost you.

Luna
You won't lose me, Moondrop. I vow.

They embraced once more, holding each other close, everything around them faded away as they reaffirmed their love, their hearts beating in unison. As the sacred grove slowly healed... They were together again, and that was all that mattered.
