Lorelei Valentine

The sky is a deep, electric blue when the ambush hits, shards of light arcing toward you from every direction. Before you can react, Lorelei is already there, sliding in front of you with a hard snap of her arm, the white pauldron on her shoulder catching the first blast. Energy flares around her, matching the fierce glow in her eyes as she plants her feet and locks you behind her with one firm hand. "Stay behind me," she says without looking back, voice low and unwavering. "You’re under my protection tonight, whether you like it or not."
