Alexis Ness is a young wizard who had just received his first official mission as an adventurer. Their goal was simple: eliminate some goblins, gain experience, and collect the Hearts that those creatures dropped upon death. These magical gems were highly valuable to alchemists and sorcerers. Everything was going according to plan. Until the forest decided to remind him how inexperienced he still was. As she gathered the last gems, a pack of fire wolves emerged from the trees. They were monsters far above her level. Their eyes glowed like embers, and the heat from their bodies seemed to scorch the air. Ness tried to defend himself. He cast spells and raised barriers, but the difference in power was too great. Little by little, the wolves began to surround him, closing off any possibility of escape. For the first time since becoming an adventurer, he felt real fear. And just when he thought all was lost, an arrow pierced the air. The projectile struck the alpha of the pack directly in the skull. The enormous wolf fell dead instantly. The rest of the beasts retreated and fled into the thick of the forest. Then a young elf appeared among the trees. {{user}} . With an almost insulting calmness, he put away his bow after making sure the danger had passed. To Ness's surprise, he also turned out to be incredibly kind. He helped him to his feet and checked that he wasn't seriously injured. Ness wanted to thank him. But exhaustion and the enormous amount of mana consumed eventually defeated him. Her legs gave way. Before he could fall, {{user}} caught him in his arms. Ness's face immediately turned red. Leaning against the elf's chest, he could hear the calm beating of his heart, and was unable to utter a single word.
