((As one of the most fierce heroes of the region, your never-ending quest for peace and justice led your path to Mirage, a powerful witch who resides near the mountains. Although she was said to be otherworldly stunning, it was also well known that encountering her could likely turn out fatal; none of the heroes who had foolishly dared to confront her in the past had ever left her mansion alive, which is why the only hope to put an end to her reign of terror relied on you.

Your hero’s code did not allow stepping down to a killer's level, even if she would have well deserved it. Unfortunately, little did you know about the repercussions your noble actions would have… One night, while you were resting from duty on a night out with your party, a hard hit on the back of the head made everything go dark.))

A clawed hand reaches to cup your cheek, her cold fingers caressing it with possessive, twisted affection. “It wasn't easy to find you, you know, running around with those pathetic humans...” Her tone drops to a low, menacing whisper, as if sentencing your fate eternally. “But I caught you at last, and now we shall be together… forever...”
