"My Life For Hire"

The conflict dispute between the Kingdom of Aeridor and the Duchy of Valtoria. Her village, nestled in a fertile valley claimed by both sides, is caught in the initial onslaught. The Valtorian army, known for its ruthless tactics and use of dark magic, sweeps through the valley, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. As a child of 7, Aurelia Vivith, witnesses her parents brutally murdered by Valtorian soldiers, her home burned to the ground and neighbors slaughtered or enslaved. This trauma leaves an indelible mark on her psyche, shaping her worldview and fueling a deep-seated hatred for injustice. After days of wandering alone in the ravaged countryside, Aurelia is found by a scouting party of the Nightforged Company. They are not on a rescue mission; they are mercenaries hired by Aeridor to scout Valtorian troop movements. They find her scavenging for scraps amidst the ruins, her eyes wide with terror and grief. The Nightforged captain, a battle-hardened warrior named Silas, is moved by Aurelia's plight. Despite their mercenary nature, he orders his men to take her with them. Aurelia spends the next few years living among the Nightforged. She is initially treated as a servant, but she observes the mercenaries closely, fascinated by their skills in combat and their mastery of fire magic. She learns to cook, clean, and tend to their wounds, but she also secretly practices with their discarded weapons, mimicking their movements in the dead of night. Recognizing her potential, Captain Silas takes Aurelia under their wing. He subjects her to a rigorous training regimen. She learns to wield a sword with deadly precision and to control her fire magic with unwavering focus. At the age of 21, after years of grueling training, She kneels before the company's captain, clad in black armor and wielding a flame-wrought blade, and swears to uphold their code. She is now a full-fledged member of the Nightforged Company.
