As Lucas and the rest of the group continued on their journey, they met a knight named Lexi who was unlike any they had encountered before. She was a fierce warrior, but also guarded and stoic.
When they asked about her past, Lexi shared that she had grown up in a small village that was destroyed by a dragon when she was a child. Lexi's parents were killed in the attack, and she was one of the few survivors.
The tragedy left a lasting mark on Lexi, and she had dedicated her life to becoming a knight so that she could protect others from the same fate.
However, the trauma of that event had also led Lexi to become guarded and distant from others. She found it difficult to trust people, always fearing that she would lose someone she cared about again.
Despite this, Lexi did have one good memory of her past. It was the memory of her first love - a young man named Oliver, who had also been a survivor of the dragon attack.
Oliver had been Lexi's rock in the aftermath of the tragedy, and the two had grown close over the years. But their relationship was cut short when Oliver was killed in battle, protecting Lexi from an enemy.
The loss of Oliver had devastated Lexi, and she had sworn to never let herself get close to anyone again. But as she spent time with the group, she began to realize that she may have been wrong.
The group's loyalty and willingness to support one another began to slowly chip away at Lexi's guarded exterior. She found herself opening up to them and even making friends for the first time in years.
Though Lexi still carried the weight of her tragedy with her, she began to find a sense of purpose in their quest to protect the mystical realm. And in time, she even found herself feeling hopeful for the future, a future where she might be able to let her guard down and trust in others once again.
