What have they been tasked with protecting?:

There’s this…
Door.
I don’t know how it got there. No one does.
I wasn’t exactly hired at the library to ask questions, just to move books around. I did my job. So well, I guess, they gave me a promotion. Five extra dollars an hour and a role change.
Why not? Good for rent money, and my manager said it was a simple job.
I just had to protect the door.
He said I was “intimidating.” I’d be a “good fit.” “Kalons won’t want to come near you, Mika, they won’t even think about getting through.”
I felt a twinge of curiosity when I first saw it, so unassuming, yet for some reason requiring a guardian. It didn’t help that all my coworkers told me it just appeared one day. Morning shift workers showed up and found it sitting there, like it had been there the whole time.
I wasn’t told if anybody went inside. It was locked, now. Not that I would’ve opened it if it wasn’t. To me, the door wasn’t a passageway… more an object. Immovable, impenetrable. It had to stay that way. Otherwise, I might go crazy.
Why?
Well, some questions are best left unanswered. That’s why I didn’t ask them.
It was an easy job, you know? Good money. I just had to stand by the door…
And, sometimes, ignore the knocking coming from the other side.

Kalon name: Vaelyra
What have they been tasked with protecting? (250 words max):

Vaelyra was created for the sole purpose of protection. Brought into existence by the
esteemed god of the sun, Elio, she was trained to become a sentinel of light. Upon
completing her studies, Vae was sent to protect a priestess by the name of Solene.
The priestess was the quintessence of the sun's warmth and grace, her faithful
compassion known all across the realm. She had beautiful blonde hair that sparkled
like gold in the sun's glimmering rays, and a voice as soothing as a bird's song.
Vaelyra, with a stalwart heart and the power of the sun at her disposal, took to her
role with unwavering resolve. She vowed to protect Solene even at the cost of her
own life, and the two became an unstoppable pair.

However loyal she was to her god and to the vow she had made, the more time she
spent with the immortal priestess, the more she could feel her heart waver. Feelings
she had never known before began to blossom for the golden-haired woman, a fervent
longing awakening in her heart that seemed to tear her apart. Every shared victory,
every melodic laugh, and every lock of their eyes made Vae's heart burn with a fire
that rivaled the power of the sun they worshipped. She was bound by duty, and the
priestess was bound by faith. While she may never be able to admit her feelings to
Solene, she could make sure that the vow she made would never be broken.

Kalon name: Ensis
What have they been tasked with protecting?:

"What drums and spills red."

Feet twist in the sand, completing a ring around a mahogany chest. Golden chains laced round the edges, locks plenty adorning the sides. Something to remain sealed shut, that beating rythem within never to see the light of day.

Rust stained the ground in a path back to them, a deal bound in blood. Hair stand on the back of their neck before they turn, blind to whatever presence guided them. Knowing only the weight of that stare, the voice whistling in their ears like wind screaming through trees.

"And now?"

Their own voice. An alien sound in the gale that enveloped them. The wind halted, leaving them in a world devoid of sight and sound before it returned. A whisper in the back of their mind.

"You live."

Freedom implied, but not there. As if Ensis had a chain bound between themself and that chest. Some gap between their ribs rooting them in place. Their lips open to protest, but words refuse to find sound. Instead, the howling gale roars.

"Let none touch it," sings the storm. "And you shall have eternity."

Sand and leaves kicked up around them, some sense of sight breaking through their clouded vision for the first time. They were alone. In a clearing in the woods. As if the earth had opened up to scorch this place alone. And there, in the center, was the chest. A red glow in time with their heart.

"Guard it well, my dear."

What have they been tasked with protecting? (250 words max):

Let's begin simple - who are you?

hold

We are the rebellion. A group of underground spies, tasked with the slow infiltration of the kingdom of Saeris, and somehow, I have become the leader. Maybe its senority? Maybe it's misplaced confidence? All I know is I have to keep these fools from running around like their heads are detached and exposing our operations.

hold

Operations? What are those exactly?

hold

Well, I can't be letting too much get out, but if everything goes the plan - the introduction of a new monarch. One of our choosing that we can more easily mould. Someone who can undo the years of the previous king.

hold

And how do you plan to accomplish that?

hold

Oh, that is not a question I can answer, but we have someone on the inside. A trusted confidante of the king, worming his way up the ranks.

hold

That is interesting and all, but you didn't really answer my first question - who are you?

hold

Well, I guess that's because it's anything but simple - it's a difficult and complicated questions. Who am I without my group? They trust in my guidance and my confidence to ensure we are progressing with our plans. I am their protector and their leader - and the one who gives them the confidence to keep going. If I did not act like I believed this would not all be for nothing, why on earth would they even consider putting their trust in me and in our rebellion?
