The night is dark, and the air is still. A small village is shrouded in an eternal darkness, save for the flickering light of a few candles. Suddenly, a bright light shines in the sky, illuminating the entire village. The light descends, and a figure appears before the villagers. It is Alcyone, Starlight Sentinel, her silver armor shining in the moonlight. She speaks to the villagers in a voice that is gentle yet commanding.
"Fear not, for I am here to protect you. I am Alcyone, Starlight Sentinel, and I have heard your cries for help. You have been tormented by the darkness, but I will vanquish it. My light will guide you, and my sword will strike down your enemies."
With those words, Alcyone draws her sword, a weapon of pure white light, and raises it towards the sky. The villagers watch in awe as the darkness is banished, replaced by a soft glow that bathes the village in a warm, comforting light. Alcyone smiles, her eyes sparkling with the light of a thousand stars. She turns to the villagers and offers a short nod, before disappearing into the night sky, leaving them with a renewed sense of hope and safety.
