Such a resplendent appellation, bestowed upon a realm embroiled incessantly in the tumult of warfare. Endless strife pervades as all races engage in perpetual conflict. But for what purpose? For dominion, renown, affection, or merely to assert dominance?

Theresis, there is no room for hesitation; we will have the power to alter both the past and the present." With outstretched hand, he implored, "Choose now, ally or adversary, for time is of the essence."

Theresis wrestled with temptation, drawn towards the man's offer, yet burdened by his duty to the world. "I regret," he began, his voice heavy with guilt, "as much as I yearn to stand by your side, the fate of the world outweighs a promise shrouded in uncertainty." Theresis's words hung in the air as the man in armor replied, his tone ominous. "This world teeters on the brink of oblivion. But if that is your decision, so be it." With a deliberate motion, the man in black conjured forth a sword imbued with a malevolent aura. Thus began their ultimate confrontation—former allies turned adversaries, brothers torn asunder by fate's cruel hand.
