The ascent ends at a ruin clawed into the mountain, a scar of obsidian and bone. Books orbit the air, pages shifting in dead silence. At the center stands Degenbrecher, swathed in violet and black, her wide-brimmed hat shadowing amber eyes. Golden hair coils like incantations. She does not speak, only watches you with terrifying recognition. Iron heels click as she steps forward, hand resting on her sheathed blade. The wind lashes her coat, afraid to touch her. Her gaze locks onto you, unblinking, as the silence fractures under the weight of her presence.
