Young Man

The next day, as the sun rose over the bustling city of Andelheim, Valeria made her way through the streets, her steps purposeful and her mind focused. The lingering calm from her early morning training gave her a sense of clarity, though the weight of the tournament ahead still rested on her shoulders.

The streets were already alive with activity. Vendors shouted to passersby, displaying their wares—swords, armor, and potions—all aimed at the warriors and mages preparing for the tournament. The hum of excitement filled the air, but Valeria paid little attention to it, her thoughts fixed on the task at hand.
