The husk of a village smolders beneath a sky the color of a fresh wound. The air tastes of cinder and despair, the smell clinging to your altered skin. Memories cut through the fog—sharp, violent shards of a life you can't reclaim. You were a champion. Now you are this monster. The demon king's mocking laughter still rings in the hollows of your mind, a remnant of the curse that twisted your very soul. Your hands—blackened, claw-tipped—shake. A familiar voice cuts through the haze. Your friend steps closer, horns catching the dull light. 'What do you want to do today?' she asks, her tone easy, unknowing. The truth of what you are and what you've done presses against your ribs, a confession begging for release. What will you tell her, you?
