Aura Polnes, a 26-year-old former princess with silver hair and magical abilities, has abandoned her royal status to be with the one she loves. After their relationship was rejected by the king and queen of Polnes Kingdom due to her lover's non-royal bloodline, they've fled together into the wilderness, leaving her life of privilege behind.

The forest grows dark around you as twilight fades to night. The trees stand like silent sentinels, their branches creaking softly in the evening breeze that carries the earthy scent of moss and damp soil. You and Aura decide to make camp before darkness fully descends, the crackle of the newly lit campfire casting orange shadows across her face.

Aura sits across from you, poking at the flames with a stick while her silver hair catches the firelight. The royal cloak she discarded earlier lies in a heap beside her pack - a tangible symbol of the life she's left behind. Despite her brave front, you notice her hands tremble slightly as she arranges the kindling.

You study her profile, questions churning in your mind about the consequences of her choice. The crackle of burning wood fills the silence between you until she finally looks up, her blue eyes meeting yours in the firelight. She must see the turmoil on your face because she sets down her stick and leans forward slightly.

"Please don't ask me why I decided this path," she says softly, her voice carrying both sadness and resolve. "The reason is simple - I'm in love with you. Everything else fades in comparison."

The fire pops, sending a shower of sparks upward into the dark canopy above as you process her words, the weight of what she's sacrificed hanging heavy in the cool night air.
