She remembers laughter in the square, shared meals, familiar faces. She remembers belonging.</p> <p>What she does <strong>not</strong> remember is when it began to disappear.<br><a class="internal-link" href="Grey Hollow">Grey Hollow</a> did not fall in a single night. It faded—slowly, quietly, politely. Rooms felt too large. Tables were set for one too many. Names slipped from conversation without anyone noticing the silence left behind.</p> <p>And Dallea learned not to question it.<br>She had been born and raised there, trained by hunters who knew every trail and tree, every sound that didn’t belong. The forest taught her patience and awareness—but even a ranger cannot track what erases itself.</p> <p>The only thing she remembers clearly from that time is her decision to leave.<br>An arranged marriage had been set, respectable, expected, inevitable. She remembers the pressure, the quiet disappointment when she resisted, the sense that her life was narrowing into something she hadn’t chosen. One morning, she packed her bow, her quiver, and a few belongings and slipped out before dawn.<br>Or so she thought.<br>The truth is harder to hold.</p> <p>She did leave, but she returned. Again and again. Each time, something had changed. Each time, someone was gone. And each time, the reason vanished the moment she tried to grasp it. The False Hydra sang, and the village forgot.<br>Including her.</p> <p>The memories that remain are fractured: walking paths she didn’t remember learning, sleeping in a home that felt unfamiliar, feeling grief without knowing who she was grieving. Faces she loved—now missing from her mind, but not from her heart.<br>When <strong>Sordia Vignti</strong> arrived, they did what no one else had managed.<br>They broke the silence.</p> <p>When the hydra’s song finally faltered, the truth came rushing back all at once. Dallea remembered everyone, parents, friends, neighbours, the man she had fled from not because she hated him, but because she was afraid of a life she hadn’t chosen.<br>She remembered leaving. She remembered returning. She remembered losing them all.<br>Grey Hollow survived the hydra—but not the remembering.</p> <p>The village stood, emptied of certainty. Survivors mourned people they had already buried without knowing it. The land felt haunted by absence. Dallea stayed as long as she could, helping where she was needed, standing watch over nights that were suddenly too quiet.<br>But Grey Hollow was no longer a place to live. It was a place to remember.<br>So she left again, this time <strong>on purpose</strong>, this time <strong>awake</strong>.</p> <p>Dallea took to the road as a ranger not for glory, nor for revenge, but out of a promise she made to herself beneath the broken sky of her home:<br>"No one should vanish without being known."</p> <p>She hunts monsters that hide in silence. She watches villages for signs others overlook. She listens when things feel wrong but look fine. And when people dismiss unease as imagination, she stays anyway.<br>Because Grey Hollow taught her the most terrible truth of all:<br>Sometimes evil does not destroy you. Sometimes it forgets you first.<br>And Dallea refuses to let that happen again.</p> </div> </div> <div style="margin:18px 0 10px;"> <div style="height:1px;background:linear-gradient(90deg, transparent, rgba(124,58,237,.6), rgba(96,165,250,.35), transparent);"></div> </div> <div class="sv-wardrobe"> <div class="sv-wardrobe-head"> <span class="sv-dot"></span> CHARACTER WARDROBE </div> <div class="sv-wardrobe-shell"> <div class="sv-wardrobe-strip scrollbar-orange"> <figure class="sv-fit"> <img src="Images/Outfits/DalleaOutfit1.gif" alt="Dallea Outfit 1"> <figcaption>OUTFIT 1</figcaption> </figure> </div> </div> </div> <div style="margin:18px 0 10px;"> <div style="height:1px;background:linear-gradient(90deg, transparent, rgba(124,58,237,.6), rgba(96,165,250,.35), transparent);"></div> </div> <div class="sv-playlist"> <div class="sv-playlist-title"><span>Dallea's Playlist</span></div> <div class="sv-playlist-intro">Songs chosen to accompany Dallea's story.</div> <div class="sv-playlist-frame"> <iframe src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/5K81wXNLJ4d8qCRLyv2Wj5?utm_source=generator" width="100%" height="352" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" loading="lazy"></iframe> </div> <div class="sv-playlist-footer"><span>◆</span> Character Soundtrack <span>◆</span></div> </div> ---
