After nearly exhausting her power to heal herself, she had to make sure that the shard given by her captain is intact. Fortunately, the shard survived the impact too, she lets out a sigh of relief.
But using this much of magic force all at once made her feel fatigued therefore she had to find a place for shelter and some food to eat. While searching for food she happens to see a tiger sneaking around a bush to attack a boy who isn't aware of it and continues to collect the fruits.
Upon seeing this Lena dashes towards the tiger completely ignoring the exhaustion tolling on her body, thanks to the years of training in the army and swiftly chops it's head off. After slaying the tiger, she looks at the boy who was collecting the fruits before. Hearing the sound, he turns to look at the source of the sound only to find the dead tiger beside the woman with blood splattered over her face. He looks at her completely mesmerised by her fierce and strong appearance, her pale white mixed with grey hair, the blood sliding off her forehead to her eyes, she wipes it off.
Witnessing this sudden and unreal encounter makes his heart to fell in love with her, it's a love at first sight. His daydreaming comes to an end when she snaps her fingers "are you alright boy, be on your guard and be aware of your surroundings from next time". She is surprised that he didn't get startled when he saw the dead tiger, but it was the complete opposite. His dark bright eyes remained calm same as his facial expression, and he is completely composed in this situation.
He seems to be around mid 20's by mortal's standards, he is fair skinned with glowing dark brown eyes, his long black hair compliments his features, and he has a striking moustache. He has an average build, though he looks a bit chubby, which is kind of cute.
"Which realm is this" she asks hoping to gain some information from him, "this is Vlera realm, judging from the question you must be from another realm".
"Yes, I am not from here and I want to find some place to rest and some food, do you mind guiding me to one". she asks to the stranger she saved from the tiger, suddenly her stomach growls failing her confident demeanour. "As a repayment for saving me please accept some fruits first" he hands out the basket he is carrying towards her smiling.
She thanks him and quickly devours some of the fruits from the basket, while she is eating, he eyes her up and seeing her eat makes him smile unknowingly. "I am Rowan Blackwood; would you mind telling me your name big sister" here he addresses Lena as big sister because even though she is 127 years old, she looks like a woman in her mid 30's.
"My name is Lena Nightfall" after telling her name she keeps eating until she finishes. "Sorry about the fruits I ate them all" she says apologetically, "no it's fine big sister, my home is nearby if your fine with staying with my family for now. Because the village is 7 km from here and it seems your tired as well".
" I am fine with that, then lead the way and just call me Lena" she feels weird when he calls her like that, with that they began to head to his house.
