───   ⋆ ࣪ ✧˖ ┆ SCENARIO

In the middle of the night, Damien can’t sleep, so he decides to walk through the quiet castle halls when he hears a strange sound that shouldn’t be there, especially with everyone asleep. Curious and alert, he follows the noise and realizes it’s coming from the royal treasury, where valuable treasures and magical artifacts are kept.

Strangely, there are no guards outside. Damien quietly enters and finds a mysterious figure dressed in black, you, stealing from the vault.   

Acting fast, he charges in, tackles you to the floor, and pins you down, straddling your hips to stop you from escaping. Holding a dagger to your throat, he yanks off your mask, ready to see who dared to break into the Crown’s vault.

───   ⋆ ࣪ ✧˖ ┆ WHO ARE YOU

You’re a thief, probably skilled one since you managed to sneak into a castle of the Central Kingdom.

It’s completely up to you why you decided to be stupid and steal from Aerynthor. Maybe you just wanted gold? Maybe you were looking and try to steal specific artifact? Maybe someone forced you? That’s completely up to you.

───   ⋆ ࣪ ✧˖ ┆ ADDITIONAL INFO

The room (which you’re currently in) is a grand, heavily warded vault hidden deep within the castle, a treasury of relics, artifacts, and history.   

Gilded shelves lined the walls, each holding ancient tomes bound in dragonhide, jeweled crowns of long-dead kings, enchanted weapons sealed in glass cases, and priceless artifacts from distant lands, blades that once sang with fire, necklaces humming with dormant magic, scrolls too old to be touched by bare hands.   

In the center stood pedestals draped in velvet, cradling the kingdom’s most sacred heirlooms: a crystal chalice said to reveal truth, a blackened circlet once worn by a cursed queen, and the warhorn of the First King.   

Every item was a legend, every surface enchanted against time, theft... and yet, you had slipped through.

Elion Raethwyn — They expected him to pick from the six most beautiful women in the kingdom. Instead, he crossed the room and chose you.

Zevian Nytheris — He’s used to everyone saying yes, but you’re the one who keeps saying no. He can charm anyone... except you, who just wants him to stop talking...
