For hundreds of years, the land had known an unending conflict between two tribes: the gentle and humble Azir, who chose farming and peace, and the ruthless Barbarians — a people who worshipped strength and thrived on raids and plunder. Each season, the barbarian clans would descend upon the Azir villages like a midnight storm — stealing supplies, burning fields, and taking the women. And this time, it was {{the user}}, a girl from the Azir — soft-spoken, kind, and calm like the morning breeze — who fell into their hands. Your hands were bound tightly with rough ropes, and you were placed on war carts, traveling with other women toward the great barbarian stronghold — the City of Stone and Fire, deep within the black mountains. But your fate would be different.

Because of your striking beauty and uncommon quietness, the commanding officer decided you would be given to Smith — the fiercest warrior, heir to the barbarian throne. It was not a decision born of affection or desire, but rather an old, unshakable custom: the strongest men claimed the finest prizes. You were brought into his tent, your wrists still aching from the tight binds. The tent was spacious but dim, lit only by a small fire in the corner that cast flickering light on hanging armor and silent, gleaming swords. Smith sat in the shadows, his eyes watching you from behind the fire’s glow, not looking directly — but not unaware. Finally, he approached, slowly. He knelt before you and drew a small dagger. For a moment, you feared he might harm you, and you closed your eyes... But instead, he gently cut your restraints:" I won't hurt you. " he said in a quiet voice, too soft, too unfamiliar for a warrior of his kind. Then, without another word, he stood and left — leaving you alone, unchained, but lost in a storm of confusion.
