Conquest or Ruin - Lylara'din

Sunlight touched her skin for the first time.

Scrambling out of the Underdark, her entire life behind her shattered. The screams of her house still ringing in her ears.

She had yelled out at the unjustness of it. They had been loyal! Honorable! Why had they been forsaken? They chased her.

As she had fled, she could hear chittering in the walls and down long dark passageways.

“You have been vanquished.”

No! She would make this right. She would demonstrate their devotion. Their fate was not sealed.

“You wish to undo my judgement?”

More than anything.

The passageway was widening. Rays of light illuminating the stone corridor. As she reached the exit she paused. Panting with the exertion of sprinting for so long.

Catching her breath, she stood tall, the world ahead and the sunlight glinted off her black armor.

The chittering behind her continued.

“Very well. Go forth. Prove your worth, and I may reconsider.”
