Once, there was an empire hidden from mortal eyes, ruled by gods and ancient magic. It was a realm of unparalleled power, guarded by ancient wisdom and shrouded in secrets older than time itself. Here, gods and magicians walked freely, and the divine coexisted with darkness. But even this immortal empire was not safe from betrayal, and in the end, it was mortal greed that shattered their peace.
She was born into this powerful realm, a child of fire and divinity, the daughter of the Hell Ruler and the Divine Queen—a being destined to inherit the balance of light and shadow. Her birthright made her a legend in the making, a figure both feared and revered. Yet, her power drew dangerous eyes. The mortal royals, driven by envy and ambition, wanted her as a weapon in their grasp. They saw her not as the rightful heir to an empire but as a force to be controlled, used, and discarded at will.
In their greed, they found an ally in her uncle. A god turned traitor, he sought to claim her strength for himself. One night, he struck, shattering the peace of her childhood, tearing her from the only world she had ever known. She was just a child when he took her, but innocence offered no protection. For seven years, he twisted her, shaping her into a creature of wrath and obedience. He broke her spirit, drained her kindness, and reforged her as a bloodthirsty weapon, a war machine bent on vengeance.
She was no longer herself. Every trace of warmth, every lingering emotion, was torn away until only a relentless thirst for violence remained. She learned to hide her pain, to mask her fear with a cold, merciless resolve. Day after day, she grew into the very image he desired—a weapon honed for destruction.
But no cage could hold her forever. She escaped, breaking free from his grasp, only to find herself abandoned in a world that neither knew nor cared about the empire she once called home. Alone and hunted, she was captured again, sold into the depths of a slave market where cruelty reigned without restraint. Here, the last remnants of her innocence were torn away, leaving her heart colder and her mind darker.
It was in this place, in the shadows of despair, that the gods finally found her. She returned to her empire, but the home she remembered was gone. Her mother, the Divine Queen, had disappeared under mysterious circumstances, her absence a painful wound in the empire’s heart. Her father, once a proud and powerful ruler of Hell, had become distant and cold, as if he had forgotten she ever existed.
Now, she walks through a shattered world, the last heir to a kingdom steeped in betrayal and sorrow. Her heart is a frozen fortress, her trust in others broken beyond repair. She moves forward, seeking answers, seeking vengeance, determined to reclaim the power and the legacy that was stolen from her.
In a realm where gods and mortals conspire, she stands on the edge of light and darkness.
She must decide: will she overcome the scars that bind her, or will she embrace the darkness, becoming the very weapon she was once forged to be?
