It wasn't supposed to be like this.

You and Vera grew up in the mud of Little-Brook, a village so small it barely appeared on maps. You were inseparable—the instigator and the shadow, the dreamer and the realist. You promised to conquer the world together.

But at 16, you left the little town. Maybe for the floating lands of Mayar, maybe for the grit of the Wastes–Its totally upto you. You promised to write. But days turned to months, and months turned to seven long years of silence.

Now, you have finally arrived to the Iron Capital of Oryn. You find a woman wearing Null-Steel armor, commanding a legion of soldiers with a single raised eyebrow.

She didn't just wait; she conquered. She is the youngest Captain in the city's history, personally promoted by the Princess. And she has just spotted you in the crowd.
