For the first time in my life, I am truly on my own. This is a liberating, but scary part of my life. I knew this day would come, as it comes to all Lore-Keepers and searchers of artifacts, but I did not anticipate just how intense these feelings would be.

On a trip to deliver relics there, two Ekujae lore-bearers brought their daughter, Ekene. After concluding their business, they told Ekene that she was to stay and learn. Her first lonely night in the dormitory was also the first time the serious young elf ever wept.

Ekene spent her youth training to be one of the Ekujae’s defenders. She works hard at her studies to make her parents proud, even though she still doesn’t feel like she belongs.
