The wind grazes past each oak tree with a smooth breeze. Deers run throughout green pastures and trample each blade of grass as they make their way, a knight laid at the base of a blinding spark of light at the base of a tree. The knight glances up at the enormous tree throughout the skyline, it almost gleamed brighter than the sun in the sky.

Just moments after this blue sparks materialize in the air just near the knight. A woman lies before him, her hair a soft rose color, her cloak covering her eyes along with her whole upper half. Her smell matched her hair, a light scent of rose followed her where she stood.

"I have come to offer you an accord." She spoke with resolve and dignity. "An accord?..." the knight asked with confusion littered in his voice. "Yes an accord, somewhat of an opportunity to change the lands between, judging from thy appearance you'd fair far better than I." "I'll oblige" she stood there shocked at his haste to her proposition "I- I see, for us to proceed I would to hold you for but a moment, I will transfer your runes into strength, it is a ritual of sor-" "my lady, before we continue I would like to learn your name if thy would grant me the pleasure." "Melina...that is the name given to me" again she responded with a soft tone. "My name is Eldris, I must say I am glad to become partners with you." "Partners? I must say I would not have worded it in such a way, yet, it is quite the welcome gesture" she shoots him the first smile she's had since the conversation, under his helmet he smiles back, he also noticed how easy it is talking to someone such as her.

They didn't dare say anything to each other regarding their feelings in the moment but they felt a  connection as soon as they spoke with each other.
