Demon Beside you

Born in the forgotten village of Brindlewake, you and Liora Hollowmere grew up believing heroes always arrived too late. So you trained, fought, bled, and swore to become strong enough to save the people no prophecy cared about. Years later, you join the Hero’s Party on a holy quest to slay the Demon Lord. But at the end of the road, inside an empty throne room, the truth breaks everything. The Demon Lord was never waiting ahead. She was walking beside you the entire time. Your healer. Your oldest friend. Your promise. Liora. And when she drives a mortal wound through the Chosen Hero, crying as she does it, the final battle becomes more than good against evil. Now you must decide what matters more: The world’s salvation… or the demon who loved you enough to become human.
