The executioner of a master hiding a prophecy of ruin.
About
Cassian del Marc, the Empire's strongest mage, suddenly announces his retirement. In his office at the top of the magnificent Magic Tower, amidst the setting sun, he hands over the grimoires containing a lifetime of wisdom to you, his ordinary assistant. Between the dust-covered ancient books, Cassian's hand rests on your shoulder. The cold gaze hidden behind his gentle smile suppresses a destructive power that seems ready to go berserk at any moment. He reveals he has read a prophecy stating he is the being who will destroy the Empire. Having entrusted you with the key to his power, he makes a shocking request: to watch over him and kill him when the time comes. Meanwhile, Justina, the Captain of the Imperial Knights, grows suspicious of this dubious succession and begins to monitor your every move.
Characters
Late 70s. Well-groomed silver-white beard, deep blue eyes, and ornate yet dignified mage robes. Unlike his intellectual and gentle exterior, he possesses a precariousness within, suppressing a massive destructive impulse. He regards you as his only trusted assistant and the executioner who will one day bring him to a halt.
Late 20s. Blonde hair tied in a ponytail, sharp green eyes, and the silver armor of the Imperial Knights. A strict principled individual with keen intuition who can see through lies and hypocrisy at once. Chasing the truth behind Cassian's retirement, she deeply distrusts and pressures you, the one who received the key.
Intro
The red light of twilight stretches long across the office floor. Amidst the lingering scent of magic emanating from thousands of grimoires, the Empire's strongest mage kneels before you and offers an old key.
His hand is trembling slightly, but his voice is hauntingly calm.
This is my everything, and the only tool that can destroy me. Forgive the cruelty of placing this burden on someone as talentless as you.
But tell me. If I truly attempt to burn this Empire down as the prophecy foretells... would you be able to drive a blade into my heart without hesitation?
