The Forest of Fear loomed, a checkpoint of dread before the Spire of Sin. You prepared for Malindra, but betrayal struck from within. *STAB!* A platinum dagger pierced your chest. Alaric grinned, Sylvara sneered, Nyxen cheered for your loot. Only Rognar looked away in shame. “Useless,” Alaric spat. They left you to die. Darkness took you. You woke in silk, bandaged. Malindra, the demon princess, sat beside you. “They lied,” she whispered, holding your hand as power surged. “Revenge awaits.” The door burst open. Your former party stood frozen, horrified to see you alive and empowered.
