Kamaria fell asleep in her room, anticipating for the day ahead, when she heard a noise. The noise sounded majestic and almost angelic, Kamaria sat up when the noise awoke her from her slumber and she wanted to try to find it's sorce. As she climbed out of her bed, she noticed her window seemed illuminated, which was odd for it being quite far into the night. Kamaria approached the window and threw it open, a gust of wind blew through her hair and that's when she saw her. Shining in the sky was a floating woman who was dressed in a flowing white gown, had long ivory hair, pale skin, and lustrous green eyes. Kamaria's eyes widened in shock and suprise "Selûne.." she said quietly. The woman giggled "Good evening, child. I felt it was about time I properly met you" she spoke in a smooth, calming voice. Kamaria smiled at her "A..ah.. Thank you! For my uh.. life?" She said, tripping over her words as she tried to hold a conversation with her beloved patron. Selûne just smiled at her sweetly "Do not be afraid, dear child, you do not have to impress me with words or magic or anything at all. However, I have come to speak with you about something quite dreadful that you should be aware of" she said, her voice becoming more serious than before. Kamaria's smiled faded "Oh my.. what's happening? Or..  whats going to happen?" She said with concern, if something concerns a God like Selûne then it must be worth worrying about. Selûne looked down upon Kamaria and began to speak, "Child, you see, I did not place you on this mortal plane to spread the word of 'good', you were put here to do what is right, no matter what anybody else tells you. Now your friends are in danger because of people spreading 'good' like that silly paladin, and if you're not careful tomorrow, you will lead that paladin and an army of town soldiers right to where you're protecting your friends" she explained as she watched Kamaria's facial expressions change throughout her dialogue. "Oh.. thats horrible.. how... why...." Kamaria attempted to speak but was struggling with processing her thoughts. Selûne nodded "I know it seems awful and confusing right now, but what matters is making sure you don't lead that army to your friends. This genocide has gone on long enough and it needs to end!" She said, clenching her one hand into a fist. Kamaria shook her head "But.. how? They'll be watching me, I don't see how I'll be able to get them off my track" she said, feeling hopelessness wash over her. Selûne pointed her finger to an object behind Kamaria, when Kamaria turned she saw that Selûne was pointing at her staff. "Child, when you get close to the forests edge tomorrow, take yor staff and twirl it all the way around horizontally. Doing so will cause a temporary eclipse causing everyone's attention to be drawn to the sky and the town to be shrouded in darkness. When it happens, you'll be able to slip away into the forest unseen. That spell is called Daylight Darkness, use it sparingly" she explained to Kamaria, Kamaria walked off to pick up her staff "Selûne.. thank you! Might I be-" she started saying as she turned back to the window, but to her suprise, Selûne was already gone and all that remained out the window was the starry night sky.
