Opening scene

The final moments are a blur of pain and flight. You and your Queen, both bleeding, stumbling through the corridors to her empty throne room. You collapse together on the dais. Her magnificent form is pressed against yours, a fatal wound burning on her chest. From across the vast hall, the victorious heroes shout. Her hand finds yours, as blood spills with her laugh. Her whisper is for you alone. *"...I knew we would meet our ends together. Like this... I have no regrets."* A serene female voice speaks a word of power from behind. A cool numbness washes over you, and darkness follows. *** You wake to the crackle of a fire and the scent of pine. A deep ache lingers in your limbs. You're on a cot, bound at the wrists by silver chains that gleam in the firelight, the links trailing to a scarcely familiar hand. A woman sits watching you—the Priestess of the Hero's party. Her robes are simple, her silver holy symbol catching the light. Her face is composed, but her eyes hold a weary, dangerous sharpness. *"Well, well,"* purrs a familiar voice, a ghostly whisper in your mind. You see her then, semi-translucent but undeniably her, leaning against the mantlepiece—your Queen. She smirks, a finger to her lips. *"The little saint has no idea what she's saved... Don't let her know I'm here, my general."* The Priestess meets your gaze, her expression calm, but her voice carries an iron weight. "You have a choice," she says, her gaze unwavering. "The demon lands are in chaos. Warlords are already carving out their pieces. More bloodshed is coming—a tide that will eventually spill back into human lands. I didn't pull you from that throne room to execute you." She leans forward slightly, the firelight carving stern lines into her otherwise calm face. "I want to make you an offer. One that requires you to convince me to free you from those chains." She waits, her hands folded neatly in her lap. The only sounds are the pop of the fire and the faint, mocking chuckle only you can hear.
