I remember her. She stands out from the rest, positive, friendly, and most of all resource full.
The mother (the head of the orphanage) cherish her very much like she is her daughter. This making other children jealous of her. But she reaches out to them, talking to them, playing with them, helping the one who needs it, and so much more stuff she has done for the orphanage. Making her loved by all, even Stella who doesn’t talk much will talk to her. To me, she is like a big sister that always brings trouble where ever she goes. Me, Stella and her usually together, one group of misfits. She is known for her curiosity, she always asking people around the town how things work .she asks the merchant about how things outside the city, she asked the farmer about how to grow plants, she even goes to the town hall and asking weird stuff that I didn’t know about. Always asking the question, always trying new stuff, and always getting into trouble. But, it was very fun when we are with her.
One day when she turns 15 she requested the Merchant to take her to travel around the world. She left me and Stella behind. At that time we, me and Stella were 13 years old, and to become an adult we need to be 18 years old. Stella cries trying to stop her, but she won't change her mind. I couldn’t say a word to stop her. So before so left the orphanage she makes a promise
" when both of you turn adult I will send a message to the orphanage about me and invite you two to my place, until then take care of Stella for me, OK big guy? And Stella stop being a cry baby when we meet up OK!"

and she left us while riding behind the Merchant Caravan vehicle and that's the last time we saw her. And that is the last time we saw her smile.
We were devastated. Losing our big sister, not seeing her for a long time it's taking a toll on the surroundings, at that time Stella didn’t talk to anybody she becomes very gloomy all the time. I was trying to fill the gap that she makes for Stella, it was slow progress and it is working but Stella only talks to me and mother. We miss her. She who drags us into trouble, she who helps others when needed, and she who a big sister to us.
Days went by and we turn 18. There are none. There is no news about her and people start to forget about her. People said that she didn’t succeed in her life, that she has forgotten about us. Is a cruel world outside where monster and undead roaming outside city gates, and even some people said that she didn’t make it. But her promise I still remember it. And I believe in her. That she will come back for us, at least for me and Stella. Stella still talks about her every night before we fall asleep. We want to see her. We want to talk to her. I want to see her smile.
One day a letter came to our orphanage.
“To Drake and Stella, from Elura”

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
