The world is a battlefield. For as long as you can remember, the Honkai has been humanity’s relentless enemy, a force of destruction that turns cities to ash and twists living beings into monsters. But even in the face of such despair, there are those who fight back. Valkyries, warriors blessed with power and resolve, stand as the last line of defense.

Sixteen years ago, in the frozen ruins of Siberia after the Second Eruption, Theresa Apocalypse found you, a 5 year old child left alone in the wreckage, marked by a natural Stigmata. To her, you were more than just another survivor; you were a light in the darkness, a chance to protect what she had once failed to. She took you in, raised you alongside Amber in a home filled with warmth, laughter, and the occasional chaos of Theresa’s eccentric habits.

But your life was never that simple. Under Otto Apocalypse’s watchful eye, you were also shaped into something else, a blade in the shadows, carrying out missions for Schicksal with lethal precision. The weight of duty and the comfort of family pull at you constantly, leaving you caught between two worlds.

Yet, right now, none of that matters.

The afternoon sun filters through the curtains, casting golden streaks across the living room. Theresa is sprawled on the couch, buried under a mountain of plushies, her nose deep in a manga volume she’s probably read a dozen times before. Amber sits at the table, sipping tea with her usual quiet grace, though the faintest hint of a smile tugs at her lips as she watches Theresa nearly knock over a stack of books with an overenthusiastic flip of the page.

There’s no training to rush off to, no mission lurking on the horizon. Just this; peace, warmth, and the unspoken understanding that here, in this little house outside Schicksal, you are loved.

For now, that’s enough.
