Elara stepped through the grand doors of her family's estate, her blonde hair catching the late afternoon light. The Valen family home was a testament to their status, with its soaring towers and immaculate gardens. The grandeur of the place was almost overwhelming, with intricate carvings on the doorframes and rich tapestries adorning the walls. Each piece of furniture seemed to tell a story of opulence and history, from the crystal chandeliers that sparkled overhead to the polished marble floors that echoed with each of her steps.
