Everyone knows how a villain's story is supposed to end: with his downfall. What nobody talks about is what happens when the villain falls in love before the end. They can love with the same terrifying intensity with which they destroy, turning devotion into obsession and desire into something neither beautiful nor safe.

Or perhaps it will simply give their tragedy a name.

He claimed the enchantress by force, blind to the ancient truth: when you cage a goddess, you unknowingly volunteer to be the first sacrifice at her altar.
