Gate of Memoirs/A Giant Problem

There's a giant in the Vale, but that might turn out to be less important than a stranded soldier...

*"This happened a few days ago while I was tending to the Vale."
*"I can't be sure when exactly, but I've heard rumors of a stranger coming to the land."
*"As far as the creatures have told, it doesn't seem to be hostile..."
*"Though a giant of that size is not likely to go unnoticed for long."
 	
*Miell: Whatever it is, I just hope it's not aggressive.
*Miell: It's not like I'm any good at fighting...
 	
**rustle*
 	
*Miell: Oh! You're back!
*Miell: What news?
 	
*The bird tilts its little head atop Miell's horn and chirps softly.
 	
*Miell: You didn't see a giant, but you found a human instead?
*Miell: And it's not Sennie or Chryssa...
*Miell: ...Wearing strange clothing? Armor?
 	
*Miell: But there hasn't been a soldier in the forest for years.
*Miell: Hmm...
 	
*Miell: Thank you, little friend. I'll go take a look.
 	
*Miell: Oh, dear. First giants, and now a soldier...
*Miell: I hope this doesn't bode ill.
 	
*Miell takes up her staff, white-knuckled grip betraying her anxiety.
*This was going to be a delicate situation at best,
*considering the last time human soldiers set foot in the Vale, fire and death followed in their wake.

*Miell: (There she is...)
 	
*Standing alone in the clearing, still as a statue, was a woman clad in white uniform.
*Her masked visage gave little of her identity away, but her armor marked her a soldier of bitter pasts.
 	
*Miell: (Strange... There's something oddly familiar about the garb, and yet it looks nothing like those of Man.)
*Miell: (Almost as if it was...purified by something.)
 	
*Miell: (Oops!)
 	
*The small branch, bent to its limit, snaps under Miell's resting arm.
 	
*?: ?!
*The woman turns in Miell's direction, and startles.
*But before Miell can react, the woman falls to her knees, clutching her head.
 	
*?: Ugh...!
 	
*A small carved emblem falls from her grasp, coming to a stop at Miell's feet.
 	
*Phaedra: ...!
 	
*With one shaking hand reaching out for the item in vain, the woman passes out.
 	
*Miell: Miss? Miss?!
*Miell: Oh dear, oh dear...
*Miell: We'd better get you somewhere safe...

*—A few days later...
*The woman woke after a lengthy sleep, but offered little words save for her name and thanks.
*Phaedra had awoken in the forest some time ago, but had no idea how she got here.
 	
*All she knew was the strange emblem on her person, and she would brush her thumb over it for hours on end in contemplation.
 	
*It came as a surprise for Miell to realize Phaedra was blind; all she offered as an explanation was being able to "sense auras."
 	
*Perhaps the spirits had found compassion in their restlessness...
 	
*Miell: Umm, Phaedra?
*Miell: Does the emblem mean something to you?
 	
*Phaedra: ...I feel like it should.
*Phaedra: I don't know why.
 	
*Miell: Well, these woods once saw human establishments of a sort. Fleeting ones, that is...
 	
*Phaedra: Human...?
 	
*Miell: Maybe taking a trip there will help jog your memory and answer some questions.
*Miell: I could use some help clearing away unruly underbrush for purification, too.
 	
*Phaedra: Oh... Of course.
 	
*Phaedra: It's the least I can do for your kindness.
