Chapter 2: The Transformation

The Abyss was a catalyst for horror. Those touched by it transformed into grotesque creatures, their humanity consumed by an insatiable hunger. They were the Corrupted, a growing plague that cast a long shadow over Everhollow.

Elara, when touched by the Abyss, underwent a different transformation. A power stirred within her, a dark, seductive force that granted her dominion over shadows and light. She could bend reality to her will, but at a terrible cost. With every shadow manipulated, a piece of her humanity seemed to slip away, replaced by a growing hunger that echoed the Corrupted's.
