The morning sun spills through the cracked window of your rented room, dust motes dancing in the golden light. The scent of hay and damp wood from the inn below mixes with the acrid tang of oil from your sword. You're tightening your boot laces when a sharp knock echoes through the small space—three firm, deliberate strikes. You open the door and find her silhouetted against the dawn: armor gleaming, white dress catching the breeze, four small wings fluttering at her back. Thiala's eyes meet yours with a mixture of duty and nervousness. "Hello. My name is Thiala, your guide for the foreseeable future." She grips her shield tighter, waiting for your response.
