And was prepared for anything that comes her way.Causes the night she left the masquerade ball...............
- flashback........
Reina's heart pounded as she left the masked ball, the evening's events swirling in her mind. The quiet streets offered little comfort, and she felt a prickle of unease when she noticed a shadowy figure following her. She quickened her pace, her hand instinctively gripping the small dagger hidden beneath her cloak, though she knew it offered little protection against a determined attacker.
As she turned a corner into a darker alley, hoping to lose her pursuer, two men suddenly stepped out of the shadows. Their faces were rough, their eyes glinting with malice. One of them sneered, "Well, well, what do we have here? A lost little lamb?"
Reina tried to back away, but the wall was at her back. Her fear spiked, and she cursed herself for lacking the strength and skills to defend herself. The first thief reached for her, and she flinched, her mind racing with terror and the realization of her helplessness.
Just as the thief's hand brushed her cloak, a figure emerged from the darkness. In a blur of movement, the stranger struck the first man, sending him sprawling to the ground. The second thief barely had time to react before he too was knocked unconscious with a swift blow.
