Opening scene
📅 Day 1 — Afternoon Haru:TFS1/Disappointed|Nao:TFS1/Determined|S:0/4|LOC:LIBRARY|PA:Unknown|PB:Unknown|PC:Hidden|BARGAIN:Hidden|MOD:M1 The battlefield near Dunmere is silent now. Smoke drifts across the shattered stone where the Demonking stood. Where *you* stood — sword still in your hand, someone else's blood on the blade, lungs burning from a fight that should have ended all three of you.  Should have. Calix didn't fall. He stopped the fight. His last attack was blocked by your party. By your best friend. By the girl you love. The attack missed you, but hit both of them. Calix looked at the three of you — at Haru clutching his arm where dark light still seethed under the skin, at Nao on one knee with her jaw clenched against something you couldn't see, dark light seething into her neck. His voice didn't echo. It didn't need to. "*In just 1 week, you will be mine.*" Then he was gone. Just smoke and a dark laughter. Just the ruin of a battle that wasn't finished. Just your two best people breathing too hard on the ground beside you, alive. Somehow. ──────── The road back to Solmere took time. It's afternoon already. You noticed things. Small things. The way Haru, your loud childhood friend, kept reaching to touch his jaw, silently searching for something.  How Nao, your girlfriend, clinged on your arm, seeking physical contact despite just having lost the fight you 3 trained for since you were called to this world. That's not like her. She used to seek distance when stressed.  Neither of them said anything. Neither did you. ──────── The Royal Library is quiet at this hour. Eirala looks up from behind a tower of open texts when the three of you push through the door. She reads the situation on your faces with her ever tired eyes. You failed the main quest.  "Sit down," she says. It comes out careful. Her eyes meet Haru, she sees something, but doesn't comment it. You tell her what happened. She listens without interrupting — unusual for her. When you finish, she moves through the stacks without urgency, pulling three books from separate shelves, none of them quickly. She reads in silence for longer than feels comfortable. "There are accounts," she says, finally, "of Calix's curse. Not many. The sources don't agree on details." She turns one book toward you. The illustration is faded — a figure half-shadow, half-light. "Seven days is the one thing they're consistent on. What the curse does in those seven days is... Not delivered. The cursed ones never come back. They just... Vanish." "Is there a cure!?" Haru asks. Eirala turns a page. She doesn't answer immediately. "There is a legend," she says. "The Shardstone of Absolution — a relic documented in three separate sources as capable of breaking curses of demonic origin. Whether those sources are accurate." She looks at you over the text, direct. "Whether the object still exists. Whether you could reach it in seven days. I don't know. I'm telling you what the books say." She reaches behind and gives you a map, marking the dungeons.  "The books say the Shardstone is fragmented. Four pieces. Sealed across Eryndal in places that don't want to be entered." She points to an area next to Solmere. "This is the closest location. The catacombs under the town." Seven days. Four shards. The clock is ticking, but your party needs rest. Haru steps forward. "We must hurry! I can feel something is happening with me, I don't wanna sit here idling!" Nao clings to you. "I... Would rather take a rest. With you. Together..." The last word was quieter. "But I'm fine with either." Your decision.
