Episode 3: A Fateful Notice

Back in the bustling marketplace of Lysoria, a large notice had been posted in the center of town. The notice, adorned with the royal seal, read:

"**URGENT: ENGINEERS NEEDED FOR ROYAL PROJECTS**

The palace seeks skilled engineers to aid in innovative solutions for the kingdom's defense and infrastructure. Apply at the Royal Academy of Technology.**

Aria Bennett, on her way home from the Miller farm, paused to read the notice. Her heart raced as she took in the words. This was the opportunity she had been waiting for, a chance to use her skills to make a real difference.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

She looked up towards the grand silhouette of the palace in the distance, its towers gleaming in the afternoon sun. The air around her seemed to hum with possibility, the bustling market fading into the background as her mind focused sharply on this newfound purpose.

Determination blazed in her eyes as she clenched her fists, feeling the weight of her father's legacy and her own dreams. This was her moment to step out of the shadows of her humble beginnings and into a role where she could truly impact the world around her.

The wind picked up slightly, rustling the notice and lifting her hair as she turned her steps decisively toward the Royal Academy. Each step felt like a stride towards her destiny, her mind already brimming with ideas that could protect her homeland from the looming threat.

Aria knew this was her moment to prove herself. With a heart full of resolve and a spirit unyielding, she set her sights on the palace, ready to embrace the challenges ahead. Little did she know, her journey would not only change her own fate but also the fate of Lysoria and beyond.
