At dawn, the unyielding enemies began their secret plotting.
Peerakorn and Taentine returned to the office to check the company's security.
"They won't give up easily," Peerakorn said, scanning the area with bone magic.
Taentine nodded, tracing steel wards around the building.
"All exits are secured with magic and defenses, but we must be ready if they strike from inside."
Suddenly, alarms blared — intruders had breached the accounting system.
Working together, Peerakorn repaired the system with bone magic, while Taentine dealt with the invaders using steel magic.
Their collaboration tightened the bond between them even more.
After the chaotic day, they returned to the private quarters, moonlight spilling gently into the room.
Taentine wrapped his arms around Peerakorn from behind.
"You know… every time I'm near you, I feel safe."
Peerakorn's heart raced.
"Me too… whatever happens, I'll always stay by your side."
They sat in silence, savoring the calm after the storm.
Tonight, love and trust between them deepened more than ever.
