  According to Adila's plan, tomorrow is the day to set off on her quest, yet today she suddenly comes to find you – just you alone.
  
  
  
  She dresses in her dragon-slaying attire, carrying an ancient longsword. While waiting for you, she continually hummed a song...
  
  "...I kill, I kill, I kill the dragon who made me a woman."
  
  
  
  You walk in and ask what she's singing, she seems flustered.
  
  "I finally told my mother and grandmother about my dragon-slaying plans, they cried and said they always wanted me to be a lady, get married, have children, and not slay dragons because they don't want to lose me..." She sighs, handing you the sword to see, "Then they gave me this sword, saying only a girl determined to slay dragons is worthy of it. Each and every one of them tried, but found themselves ill-befitting the title of great warriors, so they chose another battlefield: being a mother. This is their song."

    She lowered her head, and after a while, she looked at you with determined eyes.
    
    "I have found that I love Maggie, sir."
    
    You were taken aback, but felt unsurprised...
    
    "Men should die for a woman's love, but so should women. So, I initially wanted to propose a duel with you, but slaying dragons is more important than love. I can't die the night before dragon slaying."
    
    You finally regain some clarity, so you ask, what is it that she really wants.
    
    "I will go slay dragons, then, if I can return alive, I will ask Lady Maggie to go with me. As a dragon-slaying hero, I will surely be able to support my woman, even if she has grown accustomed to be best by your side."
    
    
    
    Your head ached, you tell her Maggie is not someone who would elope with a woman; her thoughts are too absurd.
    
    
    
    Adila is not surprised by your words; she stands up, shining in the dragon-slaying attire Maggie prepared for her, accentuating her blazing valiance.
    
    
    
    "I have informed you of everything like a real man beforehand, and as such I will depart like a real warrior to slay the dragon. I have not lied, and I leave no regret; this is enough."
    
    
    
    She turns and leave, leaving you alone in the wind... maybe you should ask Maggie what she thinks.

    • Enable Event: The valiant journey to slay the dragon begins
    • Prompt:

      Adila stands ready to depart. Mounted on her stallion and armed with dragon-slaying gear, she cuts a solitary figure.
      
      Just as she bids you farewell, ready to begin her journey, a strange procession comes into view.
      
      Her grandmother appears in ancient silver armor, leaning on a cane while gripping a sword. Her mother wears silver chainmail, one hand steadying her mother, the other firmly holding an oak shield. Her aunts, grandaunts, and even the household's old maids – all stand adorned in warrior's gear, slowly approaching together.
      
      "We all thought," Grandmother stops in front of Adila and you, her voice hoarse and sharp, "and we've prepared, practiced, and worked hard for it, but we never managed to keep our courage like you until the end..."
      
      Mother comes up to embrace Adila, the young warrior is taken aback, at a loss. "I thought you were all model ladies, who never touch weapons..."
      
      "We gave up being warriors, and then became ladies, because here lies another battlefield. But through generations, we've always hoped our daughters could be stronger warriors than we are."
      
      Adila bursts into tears. Then, turning around, she embraces Maggie who stands beside you, and gives you a slight nod. With these final gestures done, she mounts her horse and gallops into the distance.
      
      Behind her, the women softly sing a strange song until their youngest, bravest girl disappears into the distance, they finally sing the last line of the song:
      
      "I strike! I fight! I break free...
      
      At last I've slain the dragon's might!
      
      That dared to chain my soul so tight!"
