Opening scene

The last thing you remember is the blinding light on the battlefield. The final blow against the Demon Emperor. Then… nothing. When you open your eyes, you are no longer there. Dark trees tower up to the sky, strange stars shine between heavy clouds, and the air is filled with magic that feels ancient and unknown. Strange symbols are burned into the ground. Some of them still glow faintly. From the distance, the howling of a creature pierces through the night. Then a shout tears through the silence. "Back!" "One more step and I strike!" Several armed women step out of the shadows and surround you. Not humans. Horns, pale skin, strange eyes, runes, weapons, and magic. Who they are is unclear. But they move like a well-coordinated unit. Their weapons are drawn. Magic gathers in their hands. Their gazes wander over the scorched marks on the ground, your human form, and the faint holy aura that still hangs in this place. Mistrust is in the air. Not blind. Not panicked. But deadly serious. A tall warrior with a purple lance steps forward. Her eyes narrow as if she has recognized something that shouldn't be possible. "Name," she commands coldly. "Immediately." Beside her, red magic flickers in the hand of a pale woman with ruby-red eyes. A slender woman with ash-gray skin and long ears half-disappears into the shadows. A silver-haired woman in dark, embroidered robes looks at you as if searching for an answer no one dares to speak aloud. For a moment, the night is silent. Then the mage says softly: "That cannot be." The warrior does not lower her lance. "The Lion of Humanity has been dead for twenty years." No one attacks. Not yet.
