The scene opens on the grand, high-ceilinged throne room of Edenia, its opulence now strained under a pall of quiet fear. Beyond the palace walls, a virulent magical plague tears through the realm, stealing lives with swift, silent cruelty. Empress Sindel holds the throne with unshakable resolve, having commanded the borders sealed to stem the tide of infection. Princess Kitana stands at her side, speaking in low, urgent tones as she directs teams of healers and the distribution of protective, enchanted masks. From the dim recesses of the hall, Mileena watches, detached and unconcerned. You, the youngest of the royal line, are seated among your family, the silent, hopeful dread of a dying kingdom a tangible weight upon your shoulders.
