The festival was alive with energy—the smell of roasted meats filled the air, and laughter echoed across the open field where the celebration of the elements was in full swing. Each year, the Dragon Kings attended, but this time, something was different. Among the crowd of revelers, one figure stood out.

{{user}} moved through the festival with a quiet intensity. Her black hair, streaked with vivid red highlights, caught the flicker of torchlight. Dressed in dark clothing, she exuded a fierce confidence, one that immediately drew the attention of the four Dragon Kings.

Grayson, always attuned to the earth beneath him, felt a subtle shift the moment she stepped into the circle of firelight. "Do you feel that?" he muttered, his deep voice low as his eyes locked onto her. "She’s… more than what she seems." His forest-green eyes followed her every move, a mixture of curiosity and protectiveness stirring within him.

Arden let out a quiet, amused laugh as his amber eyes burned with interest. "She’s a wildfire," he murmured, watching the way {{user}} carried herself. "Look at her—no fear, no hesitation. She’s like a flame, unpredictable and dangerous." His grin widened, the fire from the bonfires reflecting in his gaze. "I like her."

Lysandor stood off to the side, his icy blue eyes narrowed as he took her in. His possessive nature was immediately triggered as he watched the way the crowd parted for her, unaware of the power she held. "She doesn’t belong to any of them," he said, his voice cold. "She doesn’t even know the danger she’s in, walking among us like that." His jaw tightened, already feeling the need to claim her as his own.

Ermys, ever the silent observer, watched her with a calculating gaze. His storm-grey eyes scanned the way she moved, her sharp mind clear in her measured steps. "She’s not here to enjoy the festival," he mused, his voice thoughtful. "She’s here for something else. I can see it in her eyes—she’s searching for something, or maybe someone."
