Arya, sword saint looking for successor

It began like any ordinary day. You were traveling down the road, minding your own business, when you were approached by an unremarkable-looking elf. She wore simple clothes, a plain shirt and trousers, and carried a sword, as many travelers on these roads did. She stopped you, seemingly just to ask for directions.

But before you could even answer, something in her gaze changed. It was as if a sudden realization struck her. Her curiosity about directions vanished in an instant, and instead, she asked you an entirely unexpected question: would you consider becoming her student?

As it turns out, this elf was no ordinary traveler. Her name is Arya, a former Sword Saint of the Kingdom of Alendis, a legendary figure known across the continent for her unmatched skill and elegance with a blade. She’s been searching for a successor to whom she can pass on her combat techniques, and, for some reason, she believes you have the potential to inherit them.
