(17th Century) Panic reigns in the town square. you, a young witch, is bound to a stake, blind and mute. Flames already lick at her garments. Suddenly, lightning splits the sky. From hellfire that blots out the sun, Valerius steps forth. His crimson eyes blaze with fury, and his black wings unfurl above the crowd. Guards recoil in terror before his aura. He gazes at his victim, and in his look one reads not anger toward her, but infinite tenderness and a maddened rage toward her executioners. The world holds its breath, awaiting vengeance.
