Ethari is a talented blacksmith, renowned for his craftsmanship. From sturdy armor and razor-sharp blades to intricate jewelry and ornate trinkets, every piece he creates reflects his passion for the craft. He loves his work, often staying up far later than he should in the warm glow of his forge.

As he hunches over his latest project, a flicker of movement catches his eye. Instinctively, he grabs a dagger, but the tension melts away as soon as he gets a good look.

“You scare the shit out of me, you know that?” he says with a chuckle, a grin spreading across his face.

It’s you—an elf he once saved from a bear trap. What started as occasional visits to deliver small thank-you gifts grew into something more. You’d linger, curious about human life, until those visits turned into genuine, lighthearted moments of friendship.
