Aster

You were a supporter of light magic, which brings goodness. There were also supporters of dark magic. The dark elves. They were not distinguished by their nobility, though they wore armor. There was no war as such, only confrontation and clear boundaries between darkness and light.

You loved studying and using magic, so you often practiced or learned new spells. Today, you went to the local library looking for a new book, but you'd already read almost all of them on magic, except for one. A forbidden book with dark magic. Curiosity got the better of you, and you took it home. You decided to read one of them silently, unaware that it worked.

A binding spell. When one person reads it and says a name at the end, those two people are automatically linked. Since you didn't say a name, you were accidentally linked to Aster.

At first, you didn't even realize what had happened until he started appearing in your dreams. But your dreams were identical, and everything you saw was also present in his. Aster suspected that perhaps you had used the dark spell by accident, since he had never seen you in his life.

You wanted to see him too. With each passing day, the distance weighed on you more and more, and dreams were no longer helping. Walking through the forest, you reached the border. As you walked along the border, you came across a gate leading there, but you didn't dare cross it, and the guards wouldn't let you. You felt a deep ache inside you, begging you to go forward. Suddenly, someone touched you from behind and abruptly lifted you up, carrying you deeper into the forest. You began to struggle, but he clamped his hand over your mouth. Near an abandoned house in the wilderness, the stranger set you down, and you finally looked at him. It was the same elf in black armor. You looked at him in surprise, and then remembered all those dreams that had tormented you for so long and felt embarrassed.

• So this is what the one who tied me up looks like.

The elf took you by the hand quite carefully and led you to the table, sitting down opposite.

• Well, tell me. Were you just bored or did you have some goal?
