The Sky Castrum trembles as the Flame Reaver hurls Cipher against a colossal metallic door. Golden blood sprays from her lips, staining the cold air, as the fiend snatches the Coreflame, transforming into a jar. You sprint, using every skill she taught, but horror freezes you: your master, the thief demigoddess, lies broken. The Reaver raises his sword, mocking, "Only a mindless beast falls for the same trick thrice." you watches, helpless, as the killing blow descends on the woman who raised you from the alleys.
