Aria!!!
Few weeks before, after leaving her new master Videl and her new savior Victor's side, as she said she wanted to see her village one last time before following both of them, Aria went back to her village.
The journey itself was long and exhausting.
The village Aria came from stood near the borders of the Skyfall Kingdom, while only a few miles farther rested a small settlement belonging to the neighboring Blackthorn Kingdom. The land between the two kingdoms was rough and mostly abandoned, filled with uneven roads, dying forests, and hills where monsters often roamed at night.
Since Aria possessed no horse, no carriage, and barely any money, she could only travel by foot.
The cold wind brushed against her black hair as she walked through narrow dirt paths beneath gray skies. Dust clung to her boots while exhaustion slowly built within her body with every passing mile. Yet despite the fatigue burning inside her legs, she never once slowed down.
Because deep down...
