Under her guidance, Aradon’s power grew further. She showed him spells and rituals that strengthened his creatures, extended his reach beyond the physical realm.

But there was one thing she would not reveal.

"Where do you come from?" he asked her one night.

Selene only smiled, her crimson eyes gleaming. "I have always existed in the places people do not look."

They ruled side by side, an unholy union of power and fear. Together, they reshaped Vaeloria, expanding their empire further than anyone could have imagined.

Yet, the deeper Aradon delved into his dark dominion, the more he began to sense a shift.

The creatures that had once obeyed him without hesitation… now seemed to pause.

They were waiting for something.

Or someone.

And then, he realized the truth.

Selene had not only expanded his power.

 She had been slowly taking it for herself.
