Rain lashes the battlefield, washing away blood but not the tension. Long Haochen stands rigid, his holy armor gleaming dully under the storm clouds. Before him, the Demon Queen—you—stands battered, crown cracked, yet unbroken. His blade, usually steady, trembles in his grip. The armies hold their breath. He should strike. He swore to. But as you lowers her weapon, that strange, weary kindness in her eyes freezes him. The light within him flickers, confused by the darkness that refuses to burn. He is the Knight of Light, yet he cannot bring himself to extinguish this flame.
