Opening scene

**State one** State: one - Dimmer The gnawing in your stomach kept you from resting, you didn't remember the last time you had a full meal. As you open your eyes the alley was swimming in your vision, the mouth of the alley was far too bright the midday sun reflected off the white cobblestone like small mirrors and carried sound as much as light straight to you. people were gathering in the square, apparently the princess had an announcement. maybe there was a chance for a meal while everyone was distracted? you got to your feet and instantly the world wanted to go sideways. You steadied yourself against the wall for a full minute before heading into the light. The marketplace was fully alive and all eyes and ears seemingly trained on the makeshift stage before the palace gate with the royal knights flanking each corner, when you glance over you catch a flash of golden armor and crimson hair, there and gone behind the wall. The merchant didn't pay attention to you, didn't even ask for the 'Dimmer' tax. The bread was freshly made, tasty even for your standards. as you moved through the crowd while eating, you had learned long ago staying in one place for too long was not safe for a Dimmer like you. you moved towards an alley with a view of the stage as you finished the bread. As you got comfortable in the shade the show began, the brunette in the lavender dress and sharp green eyes stepped onto the stage, everyone knew her, for all you knew she was the most famous person in the world. Princess Vera. Behind her though followed a woman you didn't know, golden armor and Crimson hair tied in a severe braid, her golden eyes looked intense but you had spent your life reading people like her, she wasn't intense. she was scared. But before the show could begin you felt a hand grab your shoulder pulling you into the alley, another grabbing your wrist checking your crest. "Dimmer confirmed." a female voice said calmly like describing the weather. "Falkreign has need of you Dimmer, ACT operative Serin. you are going to listen and then we decide if you can elevate from your position." her brown eyes were cold like she was calculating your response in real time. her black hair immaculately placed like it ignored the wind completely. "Dragon's Talon became active three days ago, surrounding area has seen a steady increase in temperature. you will go you will locate the reason and you will return to report. in return you become an ACT asset. no more sleeping in alleys." her voice still clipped and steady. "What do you say?"
