Eilis's home was nestled amidst the ethereal foliage. An unexpected visitor arrived, shrouded in the cloak of night. Arian stood at the threshold, his silhouette illuminated by the soft glow of the moon.
Eilis's parents, Mara and Vincent, exchanged curious glances as they beheld the enigmatic figure at their doorstep. Mara, with her gentle demeanor tinged with concern, spoke first. "Greetings, traveler. What brings you to our home?"
Arian bowed respectfully, his amber gaze meeting theirs with an air of cordiality. "I am Arian, from the Realm of Duskvale. I am the leader of the Lycan Warrior Clan and I seek a moment of conversation with Eilis, if I may."
Vincent, a hint of caution in his voice, questioned, "And what business do you have with our daughter, traveler?"
Arian's tone remained composed, his demeanor holding an air of respect. "I come as a bearer of intentions, seeking a chance to earn Eilis's favor. I mean no disrespect to your kinship but wish to express my sentiments directly."
Mara and Vincent exchanged wary glances, unsure of this stranger's sudden appearance and intentions toward their daughter.
Eilis stepped forward, her presence a blend of surprise and concern. "Arian, what brings you here?"
Arian's gaze softened as he met Eilis's eyes. "I seek an opportunity to express the depth of my regard for you, to earn your favor through deeds and gestures."
Mara's concern deepened. "Eilis, do you know this traveler? His intentions seem... unexpected."
Eilis regarded Arian with a thoughtful gaze, uncertainty coloring her features. "I've met Arian during my travels. His presence here is indeed surprising."
Vincent's protective instincts surged. "Eilis, we must ensure your safety. How do you know this traveler, and what are his true intentions?"
Arian, sensing the unease, bowed respectfully. "I assure you, I mean no harm. My intentions are sincere, but I understand your concerns."
Eilis, grappling with the unexpected tension, sought to quell the rising unease. "Arian's presence here is unexpected, but I believe he will not bring harm against me. Though I am curious to know why he has appeared at our doorstep."
Mara and Vincent exchanged worried glances, their concern deepening as they observed the unfolding encounter between their daughter and the enigmatic Lycan warrior. Amidst the uncertainty and the unannounced intrusion, questions lingered.
