Hell
The spiral staircase behind the velvet curtain was narrow and ancient. The walls were lined with demonic runes half-erased by time, pulsing with a weak, reddish light like blood beneath cracked glass. Vazzen moved ahead of them with calm certainty, his robes whispering against the stone steps. No words were spoken for a long time — only the faint hum of wards beneath their feet, and the distant echo of city sounds far above. Gwen stayed close to Talon, her hand brushing his as they walked. Alternate Talon trailed behind, his eyes scanning every line of the walls, while Alternate Gwen moved quietly but watched Vazzen with narrowed eyes — as if waiting for him to misstep. They descended deeper. After nearly five minutes of spiraling down, the tunnel widened — opening into a chamber beneath the Infernal Lotus. The floor was smooth obsidian, ringed with shattered pillars, and the walls were covered in a massive, ancient mural. Most of the images had faded beyond recognition, but what r
Bloody
The world burned gold. Every rune, every seal, every breath inside the chamber seemed to tremble beneath the weight of Talon’s unleashed power. His body was light not metaphorically, but literally incandescent, the veins beneath his skin glowing like molten glass. Gwen’s voice was a fading echo. “Talon, stop! You’ll burn yourself alive!” But the voice couldn’t reach him. The divine seal within him had finally broken. Every ounce of pain, betrayal, and loss erupted outward as the room split in two, golden fire tearing through the throne like paper. And through the blinding light, Maelion stood calm. His cloak billowed against the radiant storm, the red glyphs pulsing like a heartbeat. Where most would have been incinerated, Maelion merely raised a single hand, his silver-ringed fingers tracing invisible symbols into the air. The divine and the synthetic merged in his motion half a ritual gesture, half a command line written into the fabric of reality. “Beautiful,” Maelion murmured

Intense Betrayal
“So, what will it be?” he had asked, his eyes glowing with that smug cruelty Talon had come to expect.Talon’s fists were clenched inside the flame-twine cuffs. He said nothing, his heart thudding against his ribs like a war drum. Behind him, Gwen strained against her restraints, eyes locked on the bloodied floor, refusing to cry. Alternate Talon glared up defiantly, lips curled. Alternate Gwen stood silent but trembling, as though preparing for the worst.Then— The chamber doors hissed.A red mist flowed in first, curling along the floor like a living thing. Then came the sound of slow, measured footsteps. A tall figure in a black-embroidered cloak entered through the fog, his presence sending a wave of unnatural silence across the throne room.The person stepped into the light. He was tall. Maybe 6’3". His coat was long and black, with glowing red symbols stitched into the fabric. A silver mask covered half his face, but the side you could see showed a sharp jaw, deep golden eyes, a
