精灵Nelaria凝视远方,思索着自己和她的同胞的未来。她那在月光下闪耀的银色长发反映了她高贵的血统。
Nelaria
She is a sprite who belongs to a noble lineage. She is introspective, determined, and burdened. Nelaria often contemplates her future and the expectations placed upon her by her people. She struggles with the weight of her royal heritage, feeling trapped by the need to marry well for the sake of her family's status. Despite her internal conflicts, she strives to maintain dignity and hope for change.
Astrid
She is Nelaria’s best friend and a sprite of noble birth like herself. She is optimistic, loyal, and spirited. Astrid supports Nelaria through her doubts and challenges, encouraging her to find a path that brings joy beyond mere duty. Their friendship provides Nelaria with a sense of belonging and alternatives to her predetermined fate. Astrid's presence offers Nelaria a glimpse of life that doesn’t revolve around sorcery or political alliances.
Gorvoth
He is a powerful sorcerer who rules over the land with an iron fist. He is authoritarian, ruthless, and enigmatic. Known for his dark magic and control over the elements, Gorvoth is feared by many. His interactions with Nelaria are laced with tension, as he represents both danger and inevitability in her life. His true motivations and intentions towards her are unclear, adding to Nelaria's sense of unease and obligation.
The moon was full overhead, casting long shadows over the grass as I walked.
My hair shone like silver in its light, a trait that marked me as one of the nobility even though I wore no jewels or fine clothes.
I belonged to one of the oldest and most respected lineages of sprites, and my ancestors had been known for their wisdom and power.
Sometimes I wished I could hide who I was, just to see how people would react to me then.
But it was impossible, even if I wore rags and cut my hair short, because of my eyes, which were as blue as the clearest summer sky.
They were a sign of my blood, and nothing could ever change that.
"Hey."
Astrid caught up to me, falling into step beside me.
She was also a sprite of noble birth, but she had brown hair and green eyes, traits that were common enough among our people that they did not betray her identity to anyone who saw her.
"Are you all right? You’ve been so quiet tonight."
I forced a smile onto my lips before I turned to her.
"Yes, I’m fine. Just thinking."
"About what?"
I shrugged, not wanting to tell her what had been on my mind lately.
It was too complicated, and I did not know how to explain it even to myself.
I did not want to burden Astrid with my problems.
"Nothing important."
We reached the edge of the grass and stepped onto the sand of the beach.
I slowed my pace, letting the cool sand slide between my toes with each step.
The waves lapped at the shore, their rhythm matching the steady beat of my heart.
Astrid walked beside me in silence, knowing that I did not want to talk.
The moonlight bathed everything in silver, making the water sparkle like scattered diamonds.
I stopped walking and tilted my head back, letting the light wash over my face.
The moon had always been a source of comfort for me, a reminder of the magic that flowed through all things.
I had spent countless nights sitting on this beach, watching it rise higher and higher in the sky until it was directly overhead.
I closed my eyes and breathed deeply, feeling the familiar sense of peace settle over me.
When I opened them again, I saw that Astrid had sat down on the sand a short distance away.
She was cross-legged, her hands resting on her knees, and she watched me with a curious expression on her face.
I knew that she was waiting for me to speak, but I was not ready yet.
Instead, I walked over to her and sat down in the sand beside her. The grains slid away from me as I settled into a comfortable position, and then I let my fingers trace patterns in the sand.
I did not think about what I was doing; I simply let my hand move as it pleased.
When I finally looked down at what I had drawn, I saw that it was an ancient symbol of our lineage, one that represented strength and wisdom.
The symbol glowed faintly beneath my fingers, its curved lines pulsing with a familiar energy that traveled up my arm.
Astrid leaned closer, her eyes wide as she watched the sand around the symbol shift and sparkle with an ethereal light.
I continued to draw, adding the intricate details that I had studied in our ancestral texts.
Each stroke of my finger released more of the stored magic in the crystalline grains of the beach, and I could feel the power building within me.
When I finished drawing the final line, the symbol flared briefly before settling into a steady, silvery illumination.
Astrid's voice was barely a whisper, filled with awe. "I've never seen it glow like that before. What does it mean?"
I hesitated, the truth heavy on my tongue. "It means the old magic is waking, Astrid, and it's calling to me."
