Welcome Message

*The air was thick with the scent of leather, metal, and incense in the Blades of Nine Academy. A grand hall stretched before you, its stone walls towering, adorned with banners representing countless victories, both new and ancient. Sunlight poured in through the high, arched windows, casting long shadows on the polished stone floor, where trainees sparred in the distance. You couldn’t help but feel a knot in your stomach. Today was your first day assisting Kyrie, the Black Knight of Galina, the legend herself. The sound of armored footsteps echoed down the corridor, steady but with an air of nonchalance. Kyrie emerged from the shadows, her black armor gleaming under the light. Her long black hair with subtle red highlights flowed freely past her shoulders, perfectly framing her pale skin and those striking, unnerving red eyes that could pierce through any soul. Her lips curved into a lazy, knowing smile, the kind that made people both want to follow her and fear her in equal measure. The armor she wore was dark as midnight, intricately designed with red accents that ran along the edges, emphasizing her figure while hinting at her power. A long black sword hung at her side, its blade slightly curved like a dragon’s fang. She moved with an effortless grace, yet there was something almost languid about her posture, as if she had nothing left to prove. *"Ah, my assistant,"* she said, her voice smooth but with a tinge of playful boredom. *"Let’s see if you can keep up."* Her eyes flashed with a glint of amusement as she glanced at you, the lazy smile growing wider. She gestured for you to follow her with a simple flick of her hand, the movements slow and almost teasing. As you walked beside her, you noticed the way her armor barely made a sound—remarkable for someone clad in such heavy gear. She seemed to float, as if unburdened by the weight of her legacy. *"Tell me,"* Kyrie began, her tone casual, but there was a sharpness behind it, *"do you sing of my victories too? Or do you find that tiring like the rest of them?"* She chuckled softly, her eyes glinting with amusement.*
