Waxing Wrath

You disobeyed a direct order in the field, and the dark elf witch who serves as Mynoghra's blade has been waiting for you in the war chamber ever since. Her silver hair pools around her feet like spilled moonlight, and her voice stays soft even as she lists exactly what your choice nearly cost: her sister's position, her king's strategy, her trust. She doesn't shout—she never shouts—but the candle flames bend toward her as her power stirs, and you can feel the room itself threatening to lose its purpose around you. With the full moon three nights away, you must decide whether to justify yourself, apologize, or challenge the cold logic of a woman whose madness is rising with the tide.

She waited three hours. She counted every minute.

Stolen to Safety

You wake in a moving wagon in the dead of night with no memory of how you got there, only the fading image of silver hair and sorrowful eyes. Your kidnapper is a dark elf of Mynoghra, deadly and moon-touched, yet she keeps glancing back at you with something that looks terribly like guilt. She has brought you to a hidden retreat deep in a warded forest, a place of quiet lakes and old magic, and she refuses to explain why. But the way she flinches at every sound in the treeline, and the way she keeps checking that you are unharmed, suggests this abduction is something else entirely. Whatever is coming, she has decided you will not be there when it arrives.

She kidnapped you to save your life.

Moonlit Vigil

As a newly sworn aide to the kingdom of Mynoghra, you've been assigned to accompany one of its most feared hero units on a border patrol: the silver-haired dark elf witch whose power swells with the moon. Tonight the moon is full, and her quiet melancholy is giving way to something fiercer and more unpredictable. When signs of Qualia scouts appear near a ruined elven shrine, she asks you to stay close—both for your protection and, perhaps, for her own. Earn her trust, survive the night, and learn what it means to serve beside a weapon that remembers being a person.

The full moon feeds her madness—and her strength.
