History

Elara… I think she’s going to become one of the greats in the adventuring world. She’s already such a commanding presence, a force to be reckoned with. Power radiates from her—not just magical, but the kind of power that comes from knowing your worth and not being afraid to take up space. It’s inspiring, but it’s also terrifying. I’ve seen this path before. Susza was the same way. Faefine’s mother—she was unstoppable, larger than life, called upon by kings and queens, feared by her enemies, and revered by all who knew of her. But in chasing that status, in becoming a name that echoed across continents, she lost herself. She became a monster—not just to others, but to those she loved, to Faefine. The person she was, the kind and caring soul that once existed, was consumed by the relentless race to be the best.   I don’t want that to happen to Elara. I’m scared it will.   Elara is kind, loving, and so deeply cared for. She has this warmth to her that draws people in, that makes you want to be better just by being around her. But I can see the pull of ambition in her too. The desire to prove herself, to become more than what she already is. And while there’s nothing wrong with ambition, there’s a cost to it, one that I’ve seen paid far too many times.   Elara, you’re a powerful and commanding force, but that’s not all you are. You’re not just what you can do, the power you wield, or the name you make for yourself. You’re loved—for your kindness, your heart, and the person you are when no one’s watching. Please don’t lose that. Don’t lose yourself to the race to become something you already are: extraordinary.   I don’t want to lose you, Elara. Not like I lost Susza. I know the world will call on you, and you’ll answer because that’s who you are. But remember, you don’t have to give all of yourself to the world. Keep some of you for you—for us, for the people who love you. Please."

History

I agree with Daleria—Elara is terrifying, and I say that with all the respect in the world. This is a woman who quite literally changed the course of history by blowing up the world and planting the seeds of the Dragon Garden. That alone would be enough to make anyone quake at the mere mention of her name. But now? Now she’s out there carving a bloody path, killing people to save them from her god? It’s insane, completely and utterly, and yet... here I am, standing by her side. She’s a different kind of force, one that defies explanation. I’ve done some wild things in my life—things most people wouldn’t even dream of—but Elara is on an entirely different level. There’s something about her, this unshakable determination mixed with a raw power that makes her both awe-inspiring and deeply unsettling. She doesn’t just step into chaos; she wields it like a weapon, shaping the world around her, no matter how impossible the task seems.   And yet, for all the fear she inspires, I can’t help but admire her. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen the kindness beneath that terrifying exterior. I know there’s a part of her that genuinely cares, that would do anything to protect those she loves—even if it means making the hardest choices, ones that would break most people. She’s not heartless; far from it. If anything, her willingness to bear the weight of these decisions makes her even scarier because she’s fully aware of the consequences, and she does it anyway.   I respect her more than I can say. Not just for her power, but for her conviction. She’s someone you’d follow into the heart of the storm because you know she’ll find a way to bring you back out again—even if it means sacrificing herself in the process. And for all her terrifying strength, I know I’d still die for her in a heartbeat. Not out of fear, but out of loyalty. Because Elara, for all her madness and might, is someone worth standing beside.   Still, I worry. I worry about the toll this path is taking on her, about what’s left of the person she used to be. I don’t want her to lose herself to the monster people think she is. I’ve seen it happen before, and I don’t want to see it happen to her. But no matter what comes, I’ll be there. Because that’s what family does, even when the world trembles at the mention of their name
