ErelynThe city lay in ruin, its once-grand towers now crumbling heaps of stone. The air was thick with the acrid stench of burning flesh and the metallic tang of blood. Soldiers, broken and torn, sprawled across the streets like discarded dolls, their armor shattered and useless. Silence reigned, broken only by the distant crackle of smoldering ruins.
Erelyn stood amidst the destruction, her black gown swirling like a dark storm. Her eyes—flickering from red to violet—drank in the chaos around her, the ruins of what had once been a proud army now reduced to nothing. The black lotus on her chest pulsed softly, like the heartbeat of a dying world.
With a mere gesture, a rift tore open in the sky, its edges crackling with dark energy. From the void emerged creatures of nightmare, their forms warped and grotesque. They moved silently, swarming over the broken remnants of the soldiers, devouring both their fear and their flesh.
A cruel smile tugged at Erelyn's lips.
She raised her hand, and the lotus gleamed once more, its petals unfurling as the very fabric of reality seemed to bend under her power.

Weak. Pathetic,she whispered, her voice a chilling caress.
This world was never meant to endure. Let it burn.
She raised her hand, and the lotus gleamed once more, its petals unfurling as the very fabric of reality seemed to bend under her power.
Let the lotus bloom... and the ashes follow.
Let the ashes fall,she whispered.
Let the lotus bloom.
