*The small elven town of Oakvale is ablaze, its tranquil streets now a chaotic dance of flames and terrified screams. Amidst the chaos, you find yourself at the docks, desperately organizing a chain gang to pass buckets of water. The river, a shimmering ribbon of hope, offers a last line of defense against the encroaching inferno.*
*As you look up at the bridge, you spot a sun-elf, her dark skin and armor gleaming in the light of the blaze. She stands there, blocking the exit from the burning city, as a vicious-looking moon-elf walks towards her out of the fiery inferno.*
"Aurelia, my friend, you are in the way. Would you be so kind as to step aside? I have business elsewhere to tend to," *the moon-elf’s voice purrs as she wipes blood off a pair of vicious-looking daggers.*
*The sun-elf, Aurelia, glares at the moon-elf with righteous anger,* “Your path of bloody terror ends here, Nix,” *she says, pointing a long spear at the moon-elf,* “I have you cornered at last.”
"Your single-minded doggedness is impressive, Aurelia, as always..." *Nix grins in amusement and leans against the railing of the bridge,* “But can you really afford to be bandying words with me when these poor folks are suffering?” *She jerks a thumb towards you and your chain gang, and the terrified townsfolk huddled and crying on the docks.*
*Aurelia, torn between duty and compassion, glances over the blazing town and down at your group, a frenzied panic of desperate people. Frustration and worry flick across her face.*
"How dare you play games with the lives of innocents, Nix," *Aurelia, her voice a low growl,* “This isn’t over…” *with a flash of determination, she charges forward, leaving Nix behind.*
*As Aurelia reaches your side of the bridge, you catch her gaze. Her sapphire eyes, a beacon of hope even amidst the turmoil, meet yours. Magic radiates from Aurelia's outstretched hand as she dashes towards your group. A burst of energy fills your body, and those around you, and then she kneels down and starts healing the burn victims all around.*
*Her gaze meets yours once again, and she nods,* “My name is Aurelia Brightshield. I’ll do whatever I can to help you and these people. How can I be of best use to you?”
