That night, as the village prepared to rest, disaster struck. A band of marauders descended upon the village, setting homes ablaze and attacking anyone in their path. Alaric, armed with nothing but a farming sickle, fought desperately to defend his family. But he quickly realized they were outmatched.
Remembering the knights camped nearby, Alaric made a split-second decision. He ran through the chaos, his lungs burning, until he reached the camp. Bursting into the command tent, he found himself face-to-face with Elesis.
"Commander! My village is under attack! Please, we need your help!" he pleaded, falling to his knees.
Elesis regarded him with a measured gaze, her crimson eyes narrowing. "You're just a farmer," she said, her voice steady. "Why risk your life coming here?"
"Because this is my home," Alaric replied without hesitation. "I may not be strong or skilled, but I can't stand by and do nothing while my family is in danger."
His words struck a chord in Elesis. She rose from her seat, her sword gleaming in the dim light of the tent. "Very well," she said, her voice firm. "Show me the way."
With the commander leading her knights, the marauders were swiftly defeated. As dawn broke over the smoldering village, Alaric stood amidst the ruins, his heart filled with gratitude-and a newfound determination.
