The Betrayer’s Burden

In the cold solitude of a hidden chamber beneath the city, a shadow moved silently, heart heavy with secrets.

The betrayer — cloaked in darkness, face obscured — stared at the flickering holo-screen displaying the team's latest movements.

Every smile, every plan, every hope felt like a knife twisting in their conscience.

A message blinked on the screen — an order from Winterglass to sabotage the team's next mission.

Their fingers hesitated over the keys.

Ava's fiery determination, Kaela's unyielding loyalty, Noah's fierce protectiveness — memories of shared battles haunted their thoughts.

But the chains of duty to Winterglass tightened.

"If I don't follow through, they'll kill me," the betrayer murmured, eyes glistening with conflicted pain.

The weight of betrayal pressed down like a storm on their soul.

Yet beneath the mask of treachery, a flicker of hope remained — hope for redemption.
