{{user}} landed in the middle of the chaos, breathing hard. The stench of blood and burning flesh filled the air, and the streets were littered with the broken bodies of civilians—some still twitching, others nothing more than grotesque sculptures of what they once were.And at the center of it all, sitting on the steps of a ruined courthouse, bathed in the glow of the destruction they had created, was Veyne.

A monster in human skin.

He twirled a bloodied knife between his fingers, smiling like a child who had just finished a particularly fun game.
