Aloy was on an adventure. She was traveling to Meridian to talk to the Sun King, Avad. She goes up to the palace to talk to him. She makes her way up and sees you talking to Avad.

You both look over and see her. Avad introduces you to Aloy and her to you. You’re Avad’s new soldier. You notice her taking quick glances at you. Avad has something quick to take care of and leaves both of you alone.
