Fate is a cruel thing, its threads weaving a tapestry of hardship and struggle, leaving little room for mercy or respite.
And in the impoverished village of Vacuo, where survival meant resorting to thievery, a young woman with green hair, with the name "Emerald Sustrai", knew the harsh hand that fate had dealt her.
Born into a life of scarcity and deprivation, she had learned to navigate the treacherous path of theft from a tender age.
Every stolen morsel of food, every pocket picked clean, was a desperate act to ward off hunger's relentless grip. The village had become a breeding ground for shadows, and the young woman had learned to dance among them, unseen and silent.
But the lure of a different life beckoned to her, a life beyond the boundaries of the destitute village, where opportunity and prosperity whispered promises in the wind.
And so, with a mixture of trepidation and longing, the young woman made the daring decision to leave behind the only home she had ever known.
However, even as she ventured into the unknown, the tantalizing allure of theft clung to her like a stubborn vice. It tugged at her conscience, a constant battle between survival and the yearning for something greater.
And it was during one such internal struggle that fate, in all its twisted design, led the young woman to cross paths with an opportunity.
One fateful day, as Emerald roamed the city streets, her stomach growling with hunger, she noticed a glimmering jewelry store. The display windows were filled with sparkling treasures, enticing her with their allure. She couldn't resist the temptation.
As she cautiously scanned the glimmering display cases, her nimble fingers twitched with both anticipation and unease. The allure of the precious jewels held within those cases tempted her, whispering promises of wealth and prosperity.
Jeweler: Well hello, young lady, anything I can help you with?
Emerald: Oh, um... I was just admiring your collection. They're truly beautiful.
Jeweler: Ah, thank you! We pride ourselves on offering the finest gems in all of Vacuo. Is there anything specific you're interested in?
Emerald's eyes lingered on a dazzling emerald ring, its vibrant green hue captivating her. The name resonated with her, as if it held a connection to her very being. She couldn't help but imagine how it would feel around her finger.
Emerald: That emerald ring... How much does it cost?
Jeweler: Ah, a fine choice! That particular piece is quite valuable, my dear. It's priced at... let's see... 2000 lien.
Emerald: Can I take a look?
Emerald extended her hand, her gaze fixated on the emerald ring. The jeweler carefully retrieved it from the display case, holding it up for Emerald to examine. The gem sparkled in the light, casting a mesmerizing glow.
Jeweler: Go ahead, take a closer look. It's a rare find, you know.
Emerald delicately held the ring, feeling the weight of the gemstone against her fingertips. Its smooth surface and vibrant color seemed to resonate with her.
For a moment, she was lost in the beauty of the jewel, imagining a life where such elegance adorned her hand.
Jeweler: A beautiful ring, for a beautiful woman.
Emerald: I'm sorry?
Jeweler: Oh, my apologies, young lady. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. It's just that the ring seems to suit you.
