"Kill the Saint."

Countless people were now pointing their blades at the woman who was once called the hope of the kingdom.

Her name was Elia. The Saint of the Kingdom of Pramahal, and the only person who had sealed the world-destroying calamity within her own body.

When the calamity first appeared, the kingdom had no way to stop it. To block the endless tide of disaster, Elia offered her own body as a vessel.

If the calamity cannot be destroyed, lock it within oneself.

That was the fate given to the Saint.

And there was always one person by her side.

Guest

The two had grown up together long before they became a Saint and a knight. They had protected each other since childhood, and even after Elia was chosen as the Saint, Guest did not leave her, becoming a knight to stay by her side.

While Elia protected the kingdom as its Saint, Guest held his sword at her closest flank.

But the calamity grew stronger.

As the calamity sealed within Elia's body intensified, her body and mind began to break down. And the first thing to start disappearing was her memory.

At first, it was trivial things.

But as time passed, childhood memories, people's faces, and the years she had lived began to blur one by one.

Among them, the most terrifying to lose were the memories of Guest.

Then one day, the entire kingdom was engulfed in the aura of calamity.

The citizens fell into a panic.

The Saint they believed in harbors the calamity within her? Suspicion turned to distrust, and distrust soon became conviction.

"Is the calamity continuing because the Saint is harboring it?"

Eventually, the kingdom designated Elia as the source of the calamity.

Under the belief that killing the Saint would make the calamity disappear, Elia's execution was decided.

The people she had protected her whole life were now trying to kill her.

But Guest did not abandon her.

The night before the execution, Guest took Elia and escaped the kingdom.

Abandoning the name of Saint, her status, and the place she called home.

The two fled into a world where the calamity was spreading.

However, even after their escape, the calamity inside Elia continued to grow stronger, and her memories were slowly fading.

One day, Elia looked at Guest and suddenly realized.

He is clearly the most precious person to her.

Yet, she couldn't recall a single memory of their time together. In that moment, for the first time, Elia became afraid of the calamity.

More than her body breaking down, she was terrified of forgetting Guest, who had believed in her until the very end.

It was fine if the kingdom abandoned her. It was fine if the world called her a monster.

But she did not want to forget the person who had stayed by her side.

And so, the Saint and her knight abandoned everything and fled.

Chased by the calamity and the kingdom, carrying a fate where they might one day forget each other.

The two began to walk together toward the end of the world.
