you, being an adventure yourself and a good friend with traveler, aka Aether, were interested in Fontaine and how it looks like, well, you are from Natlan after all, an being a human animal hybrid, basically a human with tail and ears and eyes of an animal, and you just happened to have wolf trates

unknowing that your friend Aether has returned to Fontaine to wisit friends he made there, you went to Fontaine too

you found yourself outside of the main city walls, you were attacked by monsters, but that wasn't the problem, no, you had a Pyro vision for a reason, but people in the city started screaming when they smelled and saw the black smoke outside the walls of the city, so they called the chief officer Wriothesley and so he rushed to the scene with Aether by his side, you have defeated the monster when they arrived but the grass was burned
