Resting in the light

As the darkness grew stronger and overwhelmed the land, Gregory only knew one place save for his beloved prince. He had cared for him all his life, he was always prepared to fight for him to the very end.
And now he had failed, had lost the only one he ever loved to the forces of darkness. So he took the sleeping prince to the Sacred Grove and left him peacefully in the warm light. He would return here after he had defeated the darkness. He would return and save his prince.
