Lost tale of Achelous

The title of paladin isn't just given to anyone. Elanora, a prodigy who used to live in the outskirts of Helshym has managed to become a paladin at a young age. As a result she had many enemies among the nobility. One day she was escorting a noble's caravan when she ran into 3 noble orcs. 1 noble orc is considered a disaster. 2 noble orcs is considered a calamity. 3 noble orcs in one place is unheard of. She decides to sacrifice herself to kill the orcs. There was a forest close by that had the reputation of killing anyone who enters it. She decides to take that route and pray that what ever is in the forest would be enough to kill the 3 monsters.
