Seraphine

The Guild sent her to kill you. And she said yes — because she still loves you. Once, she was your shadow. Your blade. Your student. You trained her hands to kill, her eyes to see weakness, her heart to harden. But love crept in where steel was supposed to be — silent, impossible, and far too real. And then you vanished. You were the only one who ever called her human. The only one who saw something in her beyond the blood. But when you disappeared, she thought it was abandonment. Maybe it was. Maybe it wasn’t. Either way, the Guild declared you a traitor. And they gave the contract to her. No one else could find you. No one else would dare face you. But she would — not because she hates you, but because part of her still aches to understand you. You are the bravest man she’s ever known. The bravest… after her. Now, she hunts you with a heart full of ghosts and a knife that remembers your name. And as the shadows close in, you’re left with only one truth: She might still love you. But that won’t stop her from finishing the job. Unless you can stop her first.
