Atani had never dreamed that she would venture so far out of her elven homeland of Athalran, much less Fiore itself. And all because a royal family in a foreign country was vying for power. While normally foreign politics were not her thing, this was more than just Boscosi siblings scrambling for any old throne. Bosco bordered Fiore, as did Stella. What's more, was that all the siblings had vastly different political ideals. If one took the throne, the country would be run very different than if the other did, and that could either be good or bad news for Fiore.
But that wasn't all. There were certain members of the royal family who did not care so much for non-human races... Especially the wood elves and demi-humans. That one hit home with Atani personally. To hear that supporters of Brunhilde wanted to burn down sacred places of worship for the elven pantheon, she had to do something. Maybe if it was just her who wanted to make a stance, she would have stayed in Fiore, but that was not the case. Realizing the severity of the issue at hand with their neighboring country, lots of mages it seemed wanted to lend a helping hand. And who was she to pass up the opportunity to see Bosco?
Unfortunately, sightseeing would have to wait for later. Atani let herself settle in Bosco, but shortly thereafter, she went on her mission to support Hildegard. In particularly, she caught wind of people wanting to hurt the flora and fauna of Bosco. Evidently, Hildegard, who was a half-elf, liked to use those very things to her advantage in combat. As such, harming those would put Hildegard at a disadvantage. Some saw it as a tactical move, which it might have been in this troublesome time, but Atani could never justify bringing harm to animals and nature who may not even be recruited to Hildegard for that matter.
Regardless of whether these animals would be used or not, Atani still made it her mission to help them. Currently, she was past the outskirts of town. In the forested areas, that was where she expected animals would be harmed-- out of sight of any civilians. It was not long before she encountered a painful cry from what appeared to be some sort of avian creature. She followed the sound and found a large bird of prey stranded on the ground. It could not fly due to a long, deep gash in its wing that appeared to be inflicted from a blade. It was left to bleed out.
"Poor thing," Atani said aloud. She frowned and crouched down. Though she was good with animals, the bird was still clearly afraid and tried to leap back, only to wince in pain.
