The ornate carriage pulled up in front of the Heroes' Guild, and out stepped a girl who looked like she could buy the entire Guild and still have enough leftover money to go shopping.

Taera Westerly, Lady of Stirk, stepped down daintily, holding the hand of the driver who had rushed to help her out. Her red curls were pinned back from her face by a blue diadem, the color of which matched her eyes. For her age, she was a bit tall for her age, although that might have just been the fact that her head was held so high and her posture was so straight.

A man sat in the carriage behind her, a wealthy lord who could only be her father. Paladin, the White Knight. Once her bags were removed from the carriage, her father barely gave Taera a second glance as he signaled for the driver to move on.

The girl turned to face the doors, allowing her footman to carry her bags inside. Taera lifted her skirts daintily as she headed inside.

She was here to make an impression.

And beware to any who got in her way.

The little blonde girl had flown for days straight to get to the Imperial City in time for the application, and it showed. Her clothes were torn and dirty, her hair was a mess, and you could see her ribs poking through her shirt.

Helaena was so, so hungry, and she prayed to Tava that they would accept her so that she could eat.

The birds had done their best to keep feeding her, but she had not particularly wanted to subsist on a diet of dead squirrel and nuts. Occasionally they had brought her some fruit, which had saved her, but otherwise she had not eaten in four days.

She stumbled as she hit the ground, nearly collapsing on the cobblestones. But Helaena knew that she had to keep moving, so she took the steps slowly.

One. Two. Three.

She fell, her bare knees hitting the stones and getting all scraped up. Helaena took a deep breath, gasping for air. She pushed herself to her feet and kept moving, taking the movements as best she could.
