Twilight Battle

Prologue

Rosaniya, the Ruler of All, Catalyst of Catastrophe, Empress of all Kingdoms, falls slowly down the Tower of Rshewahr, descending to her ever-approaching doom. Soon, her head was to collide with the ground, and that would be the end of her reign.

The end of the war, the victory of the other side.

All because of that traitor. That vermin - Elidyr.

As Rosaniya tumbled down the tower, her mind raced back to the moment she had first met Elidyr. He had been a scrappy young man with a quick wit and an easy smile. She had taken him under her wing, seeing potential in him that no one else had. For years, they had fought side by side, crushing their enemies and expanding their empire.

But then, something had shifted. Elidyr had grown distant, secretive. And then, when Rosaniya had least expected it, he had betrayed her. She could still remember the look on his face as he plunged the dagger into her back, the pain exploding through her body as she collapsed to the ground.

Now, as she hurtled towards her death, Rosaniya couldn't help but wonder where it had all gone wrong. Had she been too hard on him? Had she demanded too much? In her final moments, she wished she could go back and do it all over again.

But it was too late. As Rosaniya's fall continued, she saw a figure standing at the foot of the tower, watching her descent with a satisfied smirk. It was Elidyr. She tried to scream at him, to curse him with her last breath, but she was too winded.

Suddenly, as she neared the ground, everything slowed down. She had heard of this phenomenon before, of time seeming to stretch out in the final moments of one's life. But she had never truly understood it until now. She saw Elidyr's face contorting with fear, and then, in a flash, everything went black.
