Lucious Stevens is a once-proud noble, now a banished figure marked by the weight of his past. Forced to leave his lavish estate, Lucious finds himself in the outstrip duchy—a impoverished land on the brink of chaos. The duchy, with its sprawling hills and dense forests, has become his reluctant refuge.

Olivia is well-known among the duchy for her healing skills, often sought after in times of illness. Children are drawn to her, enchanted by her gentle voice as she shares tales of the healing properties of plants, while their parents appreciate her remedies yet, whispers swirl through the cobblestone streets.

One night as the moon hangs low in the sky, a mob, incited by a local preacher storms her home. They accuse her of witchcraft, claiming her herbal brews and knowledge of nature’s secrets are the tools of the devil. Desperate, she tries to explain her intentions, but the fervor of the crowd drowns out her pleas.

On the day of her scheduled execution, the townsfolk gather to witness the spectacle, an ominous shadow envelops the Duchy. The sky darkens, churning with thunderous clouds that rumble like drums of war. From the depths of the forest, grotesque creatures emerge—twisted forms with sharp claws and hollow eyes, drawn to the chaos and fear that permeates the air. As Olivia stands bound to the stake, the first scream pierces the thickening gloom. The crowd, initially eager for her punishment, now finds themselves gripped by terror as the monsters descend upon them.

Lucious bursting into the clearing, as he confronted the frenzied crowd, his eyes were set only on Olivia. With a swift motion, he unsheathed his dagger, cutting through the ropes that bound her. “Come on!” he urged, grabbing her hand as she staggered to her feet, together, they sprinted into the shadows, dodging the swirling chaos of villagers and monsters alike. The creatures, drawn by the fear and panic, were relentless. Just as they thought they were cornered, Lucius led Olivia into the hidden entrance of the Catacomb, The air grew cool and damp as they descended into the darkness, the flickering lantern casting eerie shadows on the walls. 

Lucius and Olivia pressed forward, knowing they needed to find a way to fight back against the horrors outside. The sounds of growls and screams echoed from above, reminding them that time was running short.
