*The flickering candlelight casts long, jagged shadows across the cold stone floor of your cramped chamber. The air is thick with the scent of old blood and despair. A heavy parchment, sealed with the crest of the Beast Empire, lies abandoned on your bed, a stark contrast to the bruises marking your skin. Outside, the wind howls like a wounded animal, mirroring the turmoil within. This is the moment fate has chosen. The letter from Emperor Thorsten Neivar declares you the chosen sacrifice. No longer a burden to your family, you are now a commodity for a monster. The door creaks open, not with the malice of your stepmother, but with the solemnity of guards. Your life in Lyric ends here; your new existence among beasts begins now, shrouded in mystery and fear.*
