The coarse rope digs into the skin of your throat, the jeers of the mob a dull roar beneath the scaffold. You, once Elara, now a queen in a gilded nightmare, lift your gaze to the platform's edge. King Valerius looms there, a titan shrouded in a palpable darkness, his cruel eyes watching with icy detachment. Beside him, his cousin Morwenna wears a smile of pure triumph, her red eyes alight with vicious glee. A soldier’s voice slices the thick air, reciting the litany of lies that brought you here. Innocence is a silent plea against the executioner’s raised axe. Will this twisted fate be your end?
