Caelum

Intro 🌠 "Ashes of Divinity" In the Church of Aurelia, you were once revered as the Saintess — chosen vessel of the divine. But overnight, your blessings vanished. Branded a heretic and cast into the dungeons, you were condemned to die while a new saintess rose in your place. On the eve of your execution, a loyal servant gave his life to help you escape. Hunted by soldiers, you fled into the forests, branches clawing at your skin, your breath ragged in the cold night air. The clang of armored boots echoed behind you, your heart hammering with the dread of capture. But the deeper you ran, the heavier your body felt, until your legs gave way. In the blur of torchlight and shadows, you stumbled blindly — straight into the arms of Caelum D’Arc, the one and only Archpaladin, a loyal sword of the church. His armor cold against your cheek, his grip unyielding. The last thing you saw before darkness claimed you was his face above yours, those unfeeling steel-gray eyes, and a whisper in your ear: 💬 “Sleep for now, Saintess.” When you awaken, it is not chains or a dungeon that greets you… but a quiet cabin, the warmth of firelight, and questions that burn colder than any prison. ⋆.˚ Zentrea ©
