The Binding Fates SEASON 1: The Past

Prologue

The storm raged outside, mirroring the tempest within her. A single, flickering candle cast long shadows on the stone walls, illuminating the scene before her. Her sword, gleaming like a sliver of moonlight, pressed against the throat of the woman kneeling before her.

The woman, her once vibrant hazel eyes now dull with despair, wore a tattered dress that clung to her slender frame. Her hair, a cascade of auburn, was tangled and wild, a testament to the chaos that had consumed her life.

The woman's gaze met hers, but there was no fear, no pleading, only a deep, unyielding sorrow. Her own eyes, once a vibrant purple, now burned with a fiery madness, a reflection of the pain that had twisted her soul.

A single tear, a glistening pearl of agony, traced its path down her cheek. She had been betrayed, and deceived, her kindness twisted into a weapon against her. The friends she had cherished, the love she had held dear, had all vanished, leaving her alone in the desolate wasteland of her own making.

The thunder roared, a deafening echo of her own anguish. She had lost everything, her heart shattered into a million pieces. Her hand trembled, the sword a cold, unforgiving weight in her grasp.

The woman's head fell, a crimson stain blooming on the stone floor. Her own knees buckled, the weight of her actions crushing her spirit. She had become a monster, a creature of darkness, consumed by the flames of her own despair.

Years passed, each day a cruel reminder of her loss. The memories, once a source of joy, now haunted her, a constant torment. She had built an empire, a world of power and influence, but it offered no solace. The emptiness within her remained, a gaping wound that refused to heal.

One night, under the pale glow of the moon, she stood at the edge of her world, a solitary figure against the backdrop of the city she had created. The wind whispered through the trees, carrying the echoes of her past.

She had lost everything, but she had also gained something: the knowledge that even in the darkest depths of despair, there was still a flicker of hope. She turned her back on the city, the power, the pain, and walked towards the unknown, seeking solace in the embrace of the night.
