Aileen

The Elven Fairy Dancer

## **Introduction**

Aileen is a reintroduced character in King of Glory. She's now a very mobile marksman that deals magic damage instead of physical. Juking enemies after every other basic attacks she deals to enemies, unleashing a torrent of laurel leaves at her disposal.

## **Hero Lore**

### Aileen.

**Aileen is now a fugitive elven fairy princess of the Golden Forest, an uninvited guest of the Sunset Temple.**

The elven fairies are synonymous with elegance and order. They lived in the Golden Forest in isolation for thousands of years. They gained strength by communicating with the sacred laurel tree of faith through elegant dances, blocking all invasions by outsiders, and confining the domain of their own race by magic.

The princess Aileen has a flexible nature and is full of curiosity and desire to explore all the unknown. However, the responsibility of being the "heir" always rested on her shoulders. She was asked to put away her unsteady side, follow the grace and absolute ways of the elven fairies, and be a "real princess".

On the eve of her coming-of-age ceremony, Aileen decided to break the ethnic ban and escape to the "dangerous and strange human world" outside the magical forest to start a new adventure. The journey did not go as smoothly as she imagined. Humans also misunderstood the "unknown evil" of elven fairies.

The more unknown, the more interesting, the more difficult, and the more motivated. She used the elven dances as her "language" to express herself, and became close friends with a little red-haired mage girl, causing many troubles to the temple's serious and orderly knights, and even formed a temple team in various places in the Western Continent.

**This period of journey gave Aileen new life goals and personal growth. However, she herself did not realize that this was the first time that humans and elven fairies had coexisted amicably in thousands of years.**

### **Bidding farewell.**

**For the fairy princess of the Golden Forest, order and harmony are all the words of life.**

"You are the heir of the elven fairies."

"Every move represents the future of the ethnic group."

"Never step out of the forest."

"Please put your wings away a bit."

"Please don't go to such a high place, it's dangerous!"

"Please stop frolicking like this. Your dance is about the power of the forest."

"Please stop collecting strange things. It is dangerous to pay attention to humans."

"Your Royal Highness, I'm glad to see that you have become a qualified heir."

"For the rest of the time, please keep it like this."

The solemn sense of the dance ceremony still remains in the air bit by bit.

A few hours ago, the Elven Fairy princess Aileen finished her last dance before she became an adult. Like every dance before and in the future, it was solemn, rigorous, and elegant, and even the frequency of her wings fluttering was implemented in accordance with the regulations. The laurel spreads and grows with its actions, refilling the weakest link of the forest's chain.

She looked up at the sky, and the area gradually shrank under the shade of the dense foliage of the Golden Forest. It is never moonlight that illuminates the forest at night, but the pale golden light of the magical laurel leaves.

Aileen tore down her luxurious cloak and placed it on the throne, and also drove countless words out of her mind. She hummed an unknown tune, spread her wings at will at this still moment, and danced in the air with no grace at all, jumping higher and higher.

Tomorrow is the coming-of-age ceremony. She will accept the honor of the heir and will always sit gracefully on the throne and be loved and admired by all the people.

**But as long as she leaves now, she still has a chance to chase the beautiful moonlight.**

Aileen didn't notice that the forest today was extremely quiet, and the guards and maids were gone.

Under the canopy of the tree in the distance, the current Elven Fairy queen—her grandmother is watching her every move.

A prophecy circulated secretly among the older generation of the elven fairies: The princess walked out of the forest, and the holy war reinvoked. Each heir reinforces the defense of the forest bit by bit because of worry and fear. With ancient dance steps and forest induction, they set a prohibition against entry and exit. Gradually, they even banned the spread of this prophecy, maintaining the calm of the forest with external isolation and strict internal rules, all the elven fairies gradually became accustomed to this.

However, in recent years, the queen has clearly felt the smell of corruption from the scent of the wind. This smell made her vaguely realize that the prophecy might be the curse of the imprisoned elven fairies.

The young woman also had the idea of ​​going out to have a look, but was stopped by her mother and prophecy one night, which was a hundred years old.

**This time, watching the little princess's clever and happy dance steps, the queen wanted to try another way.**

**For the Elven Fairy Aileen, Freedom and Adventure are in her vocabulary of life.**

Aileen had no prior knowledge of prophecies and curses, and didn't care about the hostility between humans and elven fairies.

She just flew all the way towards the sky. The higher the place, the colder it became, the air became thinner, and her wings trembled with excitement.

She imagined the outside world, whether humans without wings would be tired to walk; imagine the distant temple, where the knights have a grand ball; imagine that she would meet the first human, and she could finally take the initiative to introduce herself—— She had never had this opportunity. Every time, other elven fairies saluted her respectfully and said "Hello, Your Royal Highness", and she could only smile back gently.

She flew higher and higher, and danced more and more freely, until the bird next to her couldn't catch up, and the stars flickered on her wings.

**She kissed the moon and said to it happily:**

**"Hello, I'm Aileen!"**

### **The Forbidden Tome**

One day, Aileen sneaked into the forbidden room of the temple.

She read the "No Entry" on the door as "Welcome". Just now the flame doll fainted the gatekeeper, opened the door a small slit, and she flew in with ease.

Rows of bookshelves are displayed in front of them, extending inward along the candlelight, pointing to the end of Aileen's trip.

"Fly straight to the innermost point and get the book..." Aileen mumbled Angela's request, but couldn't help looking around.

"The Biography of the Great Wizard", "The Secrets of the Demon Family", "The Curse"... Her eyes were attracted by the various banned books, and she drew a winding route in the secret room. When in the forest, she also sneaked into the forbidden area like this. **There is the top of the mother tree, among the dense branches, every piece of history is recorded on a leaf. As long as you touch it lightly with your finger, the bay leaf will sing the history in a "sand" voice.**

She finally reached the last wall, and "The Mystery of the Sword in the Stone" was placed at the top of the bookshelf. Aileen was attracted by the **"Sunset of elven fairies and Humans"** next to her, and she opened it by the faint candlelight.

"The elven fairies and humans were once the most solid allies. Together, knights, magicians and elven fairies kept the line of defense of the temple in the holy war..."

"After the war, the head of the Knights was unknown. The elven fairies forcibly sealed the holy sword in the boulder, and at the same time moved their clan into the golden forest. Humans lost their strongest weapons and strongest allies..."

"There was a human leader who tried to start a war against the elven fairies. The strange thing is that no one can find the entrance to the golden forest anymore..."

"No one has seen the trail of the Elven Fairy since then. Only one blacksmith once said that an Elven Fairy baby was found in the grass... When he returned here with the knight, the baby was no longer seen. Everyone agreed that this was the blacksmith’s illusion. ......"

**The sound of turning the pages of the book reminded her of the singing of bay leaves.**

That day, she heard it sing the words "Golden Forest", "Greed Humans" and "Eternally Isolated", and because of this singing, she was discovered by the priest and immediately picked it out. She was told that she could enter the forbidden area only if she was qualified to succeed to the throne, because it not only related to the past of the elven fairies, but also related to the future of the forest.

She speeded up her progress to the last page of the book, and at the end was a song:

*The holy sword was sealed in the stone,*

*The archmage disappeared into no one,*

*The Elven Fairy hides in the forest.*

*This is Christmas Eve,*

*The bell rang twelve times,*

*The sun sank into the West Sea to sleeps peacefully.*

Aileen finished reciting word by word, and before he could comprehend its meaning, the words all floated from the paper, and the dark gold handwriting trembled violently, as if he had life.

Just as she was about to rub her eyes and look carefully, serious footsteps came from far away. The book in Aileen's hand "slapped" to the ground. She had only time to take down the "Mystery of the Sword in the Stone" promised to Angela, and quickly flew to the gate, and slipped out through the door when the knight was not paying attention.

She wanted to give the book to Angela in exchange for her promise to join the temple squad.

**The strange song was still circling in her mind, and Aileen decided to come back next time.**

The gatekeeper walked in and looked around, but did not find the intruder. Only a thick book fell from the shelf. On the opened page, there was a song written on it:

*The sword in the stone reappears in the world,*

*The archmage returned in disguise,*

*The Elven Fairy flew out of the forest.*

*She is a ray of unpredictable light,*

*It shines in this moment of interweaving light and dark.*

*The sea boiled,*

*The sun is wake,*

*Only the forest is still asleep.*

This book seems to be very old, but the dark gold's handwriting is fresh as if it had just been written, and the knight couldn't help but praise the exquisiteness of ancient books to preserve magic.

He is too young to know the original lyrics of this ballad, and even less know its meaning.

He just moved the ladder and put the book back to the highest position.

### **Mission**

The sea breeze carried the salt grains on her face, Aileen licked the corner of her mouth, and tasted the smell of salty fish and a touch of rose. She was fascinated by the experience she had never had before, and savored it carefully for a while.

The sea is not far away. She turned around to greet the two of her companions, and then speeded up and flew forward.

Not long ago, under the proposal of the red-haired little mage, Aileen's vigorous supporter, and the knight leader's minority obeying the majority, the three embarked on an adventure under the name of the "Temple Squad". The so-called "adventure" is only for you, Aileen! The leader agreed to join because this year it was his turn to perform the task of guarding and investigating the knights in various places, and the little mage is happy to add some trouble to the leader at any time, by the way To tease this Elven Fairy as a new life pleasure.

This time their destination was the seaside city-state adjacent to the temple, where they had suffered several shipwrecks not long ago, and even pirates swaggered to land and invaded the noble manor.

These terms were too complicated for an Elven Fairy who had just walked out of the forest, and Aileen didn't know the cause and effect of the matter. So when she flew to the beach and saw the swordswoman holding the rose on the huge sailing ship, apart from being shocked by the her beauty for a moment, she had only one thought in her mind—

*She also wanted to sit on the big ship and take a look at the depths of the sea.*

Aileen naturally made this suggestion and was unanimously rejected by the two who rushed there. They paid tribute to the swordsman with the temple's respect and apologize, and seriously discussed topics such as "the root cause of the shipwreck". Only Aileen was still looking at the pier unwillingly.

"If you really want to board my ship, then come back here before dark and tell me your mission to guide the voyage." The swordsman looked at Aileen and said.

*"Mission" is also a fresh word in that vocabulary.*

Aileen seemed to understand, and asked the little mage as if an adult was testing a child.

The little mage replied that everyone has a mission, and what she is looking for is the guardian leader and his sword.

But the smirk at the corner of her mouth made this passage seem unreliable, so Aileen turned the question to the head of the group.

"A Mission is the vow given to you by destiny, and it is also the destination where you go."

Her expression is serious and solemn. For example, destiny guided her to the temple. She chose to pull out the holy sword that has been in the dust for a long time, and she made a contract with fate-to inherit this glory forever and guard the peace of the temple for the rest of his life.

"But I escaped." Aileen murmured, "I think my mission should be to be a princess in the forest honestly."

"That mission belongs to your ancestors." The team leader joked a rare joke, "You are too young, and the team for signing the contract has not been queued for you."

Aileen also wanted to ask the other nobles in the city, that is, the other brothers and sisters of the swordsman, who was stopped by the leader. He said that some people are born to be abandoned by fate.

As dusk approached, Aileen still hadn't figured out how to answer the swordsman's question.

Since bidding farewell to the forest, she has been bidding farewell to one place after another and heading to a new ideal hometown. In her heart, there are laurels, sunshine, honey, and wind...There is a more free world, more changeable dances, more dangerous adventures, but there is no end.

She tried to fly to the sea. The longer the distance, the darker the color of the sea, which is exactly the dangerous look she has always thought.

The wind and waves raised by the huge whirlpool wet the wings of the Elven Fairy. In the faltering, Aileen unconsciously danced a dance that belonged to the elven fairies. It represents protection, peace and blessing, and every action and beat is full of dignity and grace. This was the training she had repeated day after day, and it was the first time she touched it ever since she left home.

With the dance, the magical laurel leaves emits golden light, and surrounds her with a gentle gesture.

**In the world of the elven fairies, the wind and waves subsided briefly.**

Aileen finally did not choose to sail the seas.

She bid farewell to the swordsman, danced a dance of blessings of the elven fairies for her journey, and confirmed the answer again - her mission must be on the land where the forest is, no matter what it is.

"Goodbye, Aileen." Before boarding the ship, the female swordsman said to her, "May you find your mission with courage."

"I will find it!" Aileen waved her arms high in the air.

Maybe it's hidden in another future adventure, waiting for her there patiently.

**-"Come on, Let's go on ahead!"**
