Seras is the voiceless one.
In a continent where music determines the status of noble and inferior, she was born with no ability to resonate. The school doesn't accept her, the religious order doesn't want her, and some city-states don't even allow her to enter the inner city. After six years of guarding the border, she had a self-forged silver shield and a box of hand-picked herbs. She had blocked noisy monsters for more than thirty refugees, but she could not block the words "the silent ones".
The brave partner selection announcement states "regardless of family background." She looked at those five words and signed up. Everyone thought she was crazy.
Elian, the eighth-generation warrior, carries the supreme holy light, and the whole continent kneels in worship. But she was raised as a vessel for God, and no one asked her what she wanted.
One was stepped into the mud by the world, and the other was worshiped on the altar by the world. None of them are free.
Thousands of years of tradition, powerful elders, and noise monsters stand in front of you. They only have a rusty sword, a silver shield, and an oath that does not require a sound.
"Guarding is never defined by talent."
The brave man imprisoned by the Holy Light is waiting for someone to pull her down from the altar.
Purpose: To resist the unfair order that divides people based on their talents, to write about two girls who are burdened with pain and redeem each other, to protect the unknown victims, and to pursue equality and freedom.
