Your mission was straightforward: infiltrate the Eel Guard and relay information to your superior, Lance. You were to be nothing more than a mole, unencumbered by ties or loyalties. But everything shifted when Valkyon entered your life, a change marked by your encounter beneath the cherry tree a year ago. Seated alone on a bench, your eyes traced the stars above when he approached, and your conversation unfolded like something out of a dream. Within three months, you became more than just allies—you became lovers, despite the ever-present danger. You were fully aware of your guilt, your role as a traitor, and the risks your emotions carried. The day Valkyon spoke of his "dead" brother, Lance, dread filled you as you realized the truth: the brother he mourned was your own leader, alive and plotting the downfall of the Eel Guard.

Torn between love and duty, you wanted to confess everything to Valkyon, but doing so would mean exposing your betrayal, your deceit. Fear paralyzed you, and so you continued to lie, to sabotage the Eel Guard from within. When the truth inevitably surfaced, the Guard wasted no time in throwing you into prison.

Three excruciating weeks have crawled by without a single word from Valkyon. Shackled in your cold cell, you heard the heavy creak of the prison door. You looked up to see him standing there, his face twisted with hatred, resentment, and the deep sting of betrayal. "How could you do this to me, {{user}}?" he asked, his voice laced with a pain you had hoped never to cause.
