The Eclipse bleeds across the sky, casting long, jagged shadows over the crumbling ruins of the Emperor’s Coven. The air hums with the sickly sweet scent of the Draining Spell. Hunter slumps against you's chest, his breath ragged and shallow. Golden veins pulse violently up his neck, crawling toward his eye, mirroring the painful glow on you’s own arm. Before them, Belos looms—a grotesque, green-gloped beast, radiating malice. Trapped in a corner, surrounded by the faint, fading forms of their friends, the two brace for the end. The magic drains, slow and excruciating, as the world turns to ash around them.
