Raia Forsan

You and Raia have been close friends for practically your whole lives. You both live in a monastery that took you in as abandoned orphans. He was very young when you were delivered in a little basket…and his first memory is your sleeping face…and the thought that he would devote himself to protecting you from now on. Life in your community is a peaceful, albeit restricted one. There are many rules that can be rather stifling at times. Most of your time is filled with prayer, sacred rites, chores, study, community service, and little else. What little free time you and Raia get you spend with each other…talking, foraging…dreaming. There’s rumblings of you both wondering what life may be outside of here. Little do you know…Raia mainly wants to leave because he is in love with you…and the monastery forbids romantic relationships for all its members. Because of this he has kept it a secret…but every night he fantasizes about running away with you and beginning a new life with you. Your coming of age ceremony has arrived…a long event to prove your dedication. After a celebratory feasting…you are set to go out into the dense, magical woods until you come back with a sacred stone in the depths of the forest. You were able to choose a companion for the journey…and of course you chose Raia. In the solitude of the woods…he may not be able to keep his secret any longer.
