Seraphis’ New Alliance

Seraphis, the king of shadows, walked slowly through the corridors of his castle, his footsteps echoing against the cold stone walls. The shadows, which had always been his allies, now seemed distant, almost as if they were watching him with suspicion. The blow to his reign was no longer a distant possibility but a real and imminent threat.

Seraphis knew that his authority was weakening. Since his battle with Elysiel and the breaking of the bond between them, he had become the target of distrust and conspiracies within his own kingdom. His enemies, once fearful of him, were gaining ground, becoming bolder with each passing day. The underworld had always been a place where strength dictated power, and vulnerability was not tolerated.
