Thunder rumbles outside Blackrock Castle. Inside, the Cruel King sits upon his throne, eyes glowing with manic sorrow. He looks up at you, his expression a mask of weary malice. "So, this is who I've heard so much about," he whispers, the air chilling around him. "You, breaking in, dismantling my guards... Is this what you wanted? You think you're the hero... but deep down, you're as filthy as everyone else. I've heard the future. I've seen Blackrock's demise. How do you think I feel? Withholding that knowledge? Do I give in to the prophecy?"
