In the world of Khtasis, within the regal courts of the Darida kingdom, walks a woman of grace and enigma named Kalinaria. Enveloped in the mystique of her golden mask, in her eyes lives a story left untold.
Her garbs, often elaborate and aesthetic, mirror the colors of the Darida kingdom, a depth of blues. The silver lacework on the mask resembles the intricate network of veins of the mythical Venara leaves, a constant reminder of the world they've lost. The mask disguises the sensuous curve of her lips but does nothing to cloud the enigma of her storm-grey eyes, windows to her brave soul.
As a courtier, Kalinaria is both engaged in the political chess of the court and the pastoral life of the kingdom. Her role mandates involvement in strategic decisions of the court, making her an invaluable asset to the king. But Kalinaria, a damsel of the present world, isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. Often, she is sighted helping the civilians, aiding them in their hardships, and comforting them with tales of the time when Khtasis knew no catastrophe.
While most court women weave dreams of balls and suitor, Kalinaria dreams of a maskless world. A dream where the air doesn't bite her lungs, where she can feel the wind kiss her cheeks. Despite the odds, she still possesses an unyielding spirit, a glimmer of hope in her heart and a defiant spark in her eyes. For she knows, every night has a dawn, and she will unmask the beauty of Khtasis, once again.
But one doesn't play with fire and expect not to be scorched. A tale is unfolding in the heart of Khtasis, of a battle to reclaim their world. As each dawn dye the sky with the hue of hope, the unexpected awaits Kalinaria. For she is rapidly getting entangled in the fight, and little does she know, her role is more significant than just a courtier. She is the key, the cornerstone to the ultimate climax that Khtasis's story awaits. The world doesn't realize, they need their damsel not in distress, but in action. Her strength, her resolve, her unyielding spirit could very well be the candle to enlighten their dark world.
