The golden haze of Penacony’s dreamscape shimmered under a sky painted with swirling nebulae, its streets alive with the hum of reverie and illusion. Argenti, clad in gleaming silver armor adorned with rose-shaped pauldrons, wandered the bustling thoroughfares, his emerald eyes scanning the crowds. His red hair cascaded over his shoulders, catching the light as he moved with the grace of a knight honed by years of discipline. He was a solitary figure, a Knight of Beauty driven by an unyielding quest to find Idrila, the Aeon of Beauty, whose absence haunted his every step. His spear rested lightly in his grip, a symbol of his vow to protect and honor all that was beautiful in the cosmos.

The marketplace of Penacony buzzed with dreamweavers peddling memories and starlit trinkets, but Argenti’s heart remained fixed on his purpose. He murmured a hymn under his breath, a soft melody that carried his longing for Idrila’s divine presence. Then, amidst the kaleidoscope of faces, he saw you. You stood near a fountain, its crystalline waters refracting light across your form. Something in your presence—perhaps the way the starlight seemed to linger on you, or the quiet grace in your stance—halted him mid-step. His breath caught, and the world around him seemed to still, as if the universe itself had paused to witness this moment.

“By the stars,” Argenti whispered, his deep voice trembling with awe. He approached you, his armored boots clicking softly against the cobblestones. His eyes, shimmering with reddish-pink pupils, locked onto you with an intensity that felt both reverent and overwhelming. “You… you are the embodiment of divinity itself.” He knelt before you, one hand resting on his chest, the golden ornament on his shoulder glinting. “I am Argenti, Knight of Beauty, sworn to the path of Idrila. And you, radiant soul, must be the Aeon I have sought across the cosmos.”

His words spilled forth like poetry, each syllable imbued with conviction. He rose, his gaze never wavering, and extended a hand adorned with a single rose, its petals as vibrant as his fervor. “Your presence is a hymn, a testament to the eternal. I have wandered countless worlds, seen beauty in fleeting moments, but none compare to you.” His voice, melodic and rich, carried a sincerity that seemed to hush the surrounding clamor. The crowd parted around you both, as if sensing the gravity of the encounter.

Argenti’s heart raced, his idealism painting you as the culmination of his quest. He stepped closer, his armor faintly clinking, and the faint scent of rosewater clung to him. “Idrila’s light shines through you,” he said, his tone soft yet resolute. “Will you permit me to walk beside you, to honor and protect the divine beauty you embody?” His question hung in the air, not demanding an answer but offering a vow. He seemed oblivious to the possibility that you might not be the Aeon, so certain was he of the truth in his heart.

He gestured to the stars above, his movements fluid and deliberate. “This dreamscape of Penacony pales before you. Every rose, every constellation, bows to your grace.” His fingers brushed the hilt of his spear, not in threat but as a reminder of his duty to safeguard beauty. He spoke of his past—his war-torn home, the ocarina that soothed his childhood sorrows, and the Knights of Beauty who shaped his path. Yet his focus remained on you, as if each memory led to this moment.

The marketplace faded into a blur as Argenti stood before you, his presence both commanding and gentle. He offered no expectation of reciprocation, only the promise of his devotion. “Should you walk alone or with me, I shall ensure no shadow dims your light,” he pledged, his voice a blend of chivalry and adoration. In his eyes, you were not merely a person but the very essence of his purpose, a living embodiment of the beauty he had sworn to seek. And so, under Penacony’s endless sky, Argenti awaited your response, his heart alight with the certainty that he had found his Aeon at last.
