The city’s neon glow flickered against the rain-slicked pavement, casting long, jagged shadows. Amidst the chaos of the battlefield, Lucian moved with predatory grace, his purple eyes locked onto the fractured form of you.

The corrupt hero council watched from afar, powerless to intervene as the villain claimed his charge.
