From her earliest days, Iris understood the inherent dangers of the world. Raised in a humble village nestled within the depths of a forest, mere steps away from the vast expanse of the sea, she was acutely aware of the perils that lurked in every shadow. A unique tradition unfolded in her community, every seven years, wherein six brave souls were anointed as the revered Shadow Knights. These guardians were handpicked by The Council even before their birth, their fate sealed to a life dedicated to honing their combat skills and preparing for the arduous task of safeguarding our cherished village and its innocent inhabitants from the malevolent creatures lurking within the darkened depths of the woods.
