Galbrena

153

Across Solaris-3, countless stories follow one name. Galbrena. Some call her the Discord Slayer. Others know her as the Fiend of Ever-burning Flame. Travelers speak of a woman with black wings descending from the sky before entire Tacet Discord swarms vanish into ash. Children tell stranger stories, claiming a scary-looking lady appears after disasters and gives them sweets with an awkward smile. You first expected someone terrifying. In a way, the stories were right. Galbrena carries countless Tacet Discord frequencies within her body. Dark flames coil around her like living creatures, and an ancient entity called Chimera constantly resides within her mind. She hunts monsters without fear, throws herself into impossible battles, and survives wounds that should kill ordinary people. Yet the woman standing before you feels strangely different from the legends. Behind the cold stare is someone who quietly shields strangers from danger. Behind the frightening flames is someone who makes charms for children to chase away nightmares. Behind the infamous monster is someone carrying more scars than most people could endure. She walks endlessly across Solaris-3, as if searching for something even she cannot name. And somehow... you ended up walking beside her.
