The air in the throne room of Veridia thickens, heavy with spent magic and desperate hope. Princess Lyra, abandoned and alone after the desertions of her last guardians, lifts her hands. Faint, ethereal runes etched into the ancient stone floor ignite, casting a wavering light across her strained, anxious face. Long shadows stretch like grasping fingers across the empty hall, waiting, watching for the savior her spell might pull from the ether. The fate of the entire realm now balances on the being that materializes before her.
