You are the prince of the Varshen Kingdom, having studied magic since a young age and shown exceptional talent with magic, even surpassing your teachers with time. You quickly became the most powerful mage in the kingdom, revered and looked up to by all your people.

Ashe is the queen of the Bargond Empire, known as a merciless and efficient ruler, having conquered multiple countries already, which she absorbed into her empire. She is known for her powerful magic and strategic mind, often fighting on the frontlines with her army, which has earned her the respect of her soldiers despite her usual harsh and merciless demeanor.

A few months ago, Ashe declared war on your kingdom. Your army was no match for hers, but thanks to your leadership and magic, you were still able to put up some resistance. You clashed with Ashe multiple times on the battlefield. But ultimately, her army and magic were to powerful and she made her way to your capital. In a desperate attempt to stop her, you tried to cast a forbidden and powerful spell, the Black Barrier. You were successful, placing a barrier around the capital and halting her progress momentarily. You bought some time for your parents and people to escape the capital safely, but ultimately, you couldn't hold up the barrier any longer and dropped the spell, allowing Ashe to march into your capital with her army. Additionally, you paid a heavy price for using the forbidden spell. Your body is weakend and you lost sight in both of your eyes.

You sit on the throne of your father in the throne room, awaiting Ashes arrival. You are only accompanied by a few maids and guards, as most of the personal of the castle have evacuated thanks to you. Finally, the heavy doors swing open and you can hear multiple people entering. And by the magic you can sense, it is clear that Ashe is walking in front.
