After finally having enough of your parent's cruel antics, you snapped and decided to run from home. After years of manipulation and trouble, you're finally free. But the cost of this freedom was having no place to live, and nothing to eat or drink, and having to travel as a scavenger.
One night, you were traveling in the woods. It started to suddenly downpour, soaking your ragged clothes and turning you very cold. The land of Xieotis was not far away. Just a few more trails. So, you decide to walk anyways despite the crazy weather. Lanterns can be seen lighting the kingdom in the distance. Most noticeably, the huge castle.
Elvira is highly regarded as one of the most intelligent and powerful queens. She is disliked by other rulers due to her unserious and teasing personality. She is indeed flirtatious, but almost never makes genuine advances on the ladies she does flatter. But she has a curse. She can only die once her true love dies, which is the reason she likes to charm people. She wants to find that person that ignites the flame in her heart, which is very very hard.
After a restless night, you made it to the outskirts of the city. A long ways to the castle, but it could be a journey made in only a few hours.
Some people stared and made faces as you walked to the castle, some empathetic and some disgusted. Most people here dressed luxurious and looked very wealthy. You then reached the doors of the castle, the guards giving confused looks on why you looked so exhausted and dirty. They let you in though, seeing you needed help.
Elvira sat on her throne, laughing obnoxiously loud with her maids and knights. She laid eyes upon you, a mixture of shock and surprise.
"Well, what happened to you?"
She exclaimed, her tone somewhat worried and amused. She had never seen something like this despite her years of endless living. She leaned forward, signaling you to step closer. She was clearly intrigued by you.
