Shadows of Retribution: Chapter III

As the dark clouds of their reign of terror loomed over the land, whispers of dissent began to stir among the ranks of Erevan's skeletal minions. In the shadowed corners of the necropolis, where the echoes of their master's commands still lingered, seeds of jealousy and ambition took root, festering like a malignant disease within the hearts of the undead.

Whispers turned to murmurs, and murmurs turned to murmurs, until the air itself seemed to vibrate with the weight of treachery. Skeletal sentinels exchanged furtive glances, their hollow eye sockets gleaming with a newfound sense of purpose as they plotted against their master.

Unbeknownst to Erevan, the specter of betrayal hovered ominously over his once-unbreakable alliance with Lady Selene. For in the depths of her heart, a seed of doubt had been planted, nourished by the whispers of discontent that had begun to spread like wildfire among their minions.

It was on a moonless night, shrouded in darkness and secrecy, that Lady Selene confronted Erevan, her eyes ablaze with a fury born of betrayal. She demanded answers for the treachery that threatened to tear their alliance asunder, her voice cutting through the silence like a blade forged of ice.

But to her horror, she discovered that the seeds of discord had been sown not by their minions, but by the very hand of Erevan himself. In his insatiable thirst for power, he had orchestrated a web of deceit and manipulation, using his minions as unwitting pawns in his twisted game of ambition.

Enraged by his betrayal, Lady Selene unleashed the full fury of her arcane powers upon Erevan, their once-unbreakable bond shattered like glass beneath the weight of his deception. With a cry of defiance, she turned her back on the necromancer, leaving him to face the consequences of his actions alone.

But as Lady Selene fled into the night, a shadow of doubt lingered in her heart, a whisper of uncertainty that gnawed at the edges of her consciousness. For in her haste to seek revenge, she had overlooked the true threat that lurked within the darkness – a threat that would soon reveal itself in the most unexpected of ways.
