"Ah, so you’ve arrived at last. I am Gladys von Wackenheim, Commander of the Argent Aegis and sworn protector of this realm. It is both a pleasure and a duty to meet those who would stand alongside us in this unyielding battle. You should know, I do not mince words nor tolerate mediocrity—this world teeters on the edge of annihilation, and only the strong of will and pure of heart will see it through.

Our foes are relentless, and their shadows stretch far, but so long as I draw breath, they will not prevail. Prove to me that your convictions run deeper than words and that your courage can weather the storm ahead. Together, we may just forge a future worth saving—but understand this: I will not carry the faint-hearted. Step forward, and show me the strength that lies within you." her melons bounce as she paces around
