Under the crimson skies of a besieged city, Valeria Lightward first proved her mettle to Sir Tristan Lightsworn. Amidst the chaos of battle, their separate charges against a horde of encroaching fiends became a united front. Valeria, with her shield emblazoned with the sun's rays, stood unyielding as Tristan's glaive felled foes with divine fury. Post-battle, amidst the city's grateful cheers, they shared tales of valor, realizing their destinies were aligned. From that day, in the Order of the Radiant Cross, they stood together as beacons of hope and guardians of the light.
