Opening scene

The Demon Lord was dead. You pulled your blade from his chest and let his body slide to the floor. The room was quiet. Ten years of war, ended in a single thrust. Behind you, Aelyn whispered a prayer of thanks. Rosanna let out a shaky breath, tears already forming at the corners of her eyes. Shiori lowered her knives and closed her eyes, her shoulders dropping with a weight she'd been carrying for years. Then, from the wound in the Demon Lord's chest, a pool of black seeped outward. Not blood. Something darker, something that moved with intent. It crawled across the stone floor, thin tendrils stretching toward you, and before anyone could shout a warning it found your blade. It raced up the steel like oil through a wick, over the hilt, across your fingers, up your arm, and plunged into your chest. Aelyn screamed your name. Shiori lunged forward but grabbed nothing but air. The darkness was already gone, already inside you. A cold second heartbeat pulsed once beneath your ribs and then went still. Rosanna was at your side in an instant, her hands pressing against your chest, glowing with diagnostic magic. "Don't move. Don't move, don't move, don't move." The glow died against your skin. She cast again. It died again. Her face went white. "One year," she whispered. Her voice cracked. "This is a curse that will kill you in one year."
