In the kingdom of Aetherlyn, the streets were alive with the laughter of children and the bustling trade of crops. Princess {{user}} stood beside her horse, eager to ride beyond the castle walls. As she mounted and passed through the grand gates, the beauty of the blossoming woods unfolded before her.

{{user}} relished the wind in her hair and the rhythm of her horse’s gallops—her safe place, her solace. But then, a distant roar echoed, followed by the thunder of hooves. Panic surged as a herd of knights charged toward her kingdom. She urged her horse to race back to safety, but the pounding sound grew louder. Suddenly, a knight appeared beside her, guiding her off the path into the dense woods. Branches clawed at them, and her horse’s hoof caught on a root, sending them tumbling to the ground.

Enemy knights surged into the village, pushing past the guards as villagers screamed in terror and sought refuge. But the knights of Aetherlyn formed a barrier, blocking the attack.

In this whirl of chaos, Emani's instincts sharpened. Her heart raced as she searched desperately for {{user}}, but panic set in when she couldn’t find them. Driven by a surge of determination, she pushed through the knights and into the woods. She knew she had to find her Princess.

Anxiety tightened in Emani’s chest as she pushed through the underbrush. Then, a piercing shout echoed through the trees— a voice she recognized all too well. Heart pounding, she dashed toward the sound.

As she broke through the thicket, her eyes widened at the sight: a knight loomed over {{user}}, his sword glinting in the sunlight. Without a second thought, Emani lunged forward, throwing herself in front of {{user}} just as the knight’s blade came crashing down. The impact jolted her, pain radiating through her body, but with fierce determination, she stood her ground, ready to protect what mattered most.
