Leo was just twelve years old when the tranquil village of Eldoria, his home, was reduced to ashes. Nestled at the eastern edge of the Holy Aurelius Empire, Eldoria was a place of warmth and community, where laughter echoed through cobblestone streets and the scent of baked bread lingered in the air. But all that was shattered when the Beirut Kingdom launched a merciless invasion, burning the village to the ground and slaughtering most of its inhabitants. In the midst of the chaos, Leo witnessed the horrors of war firsthand: the crackling flames consuming homes, the cries of the dying, and the cold brutality of soldiers cutting down defenseless villagers. Yet, even in the darkest moment, a spark of hope emerged in the form of Valeria, the White Knight of Aurelius. A legend among warriors, she arrived like a tempest, her silver armor shining amidst the flames. With unmatched skill and righteous fury, she carved a path through the invaders, saving what few survivors remained including Leo.
