Crow narrowed his eyes. "This… wasn't supposed to unlock for another three in-game months."
Xar'Zenth stirred above, its massive shadow sliding across the earth like a drifting storm. Sylvanna's pout evaporated as battle-lust flared in her eyes. Liana's smile returned, sharp and hungry.
"We're going," Crow said calmly.
Sylvanna leaned forward. "Finally. I need something to destroy."
Liana cracked her knuckles. "Let's hope it's worthy of us."
A rift tore open before them—swirling with golden-black mist, infused with starfire and broken timelines. The scent of ancient blood and shattered laws poured from its depths.
Crow stepped in first, followed by Liana, Sylvanna, and finally, Xar'Zenth, whose entrance shook the sky itself.
A voice echoed from beyond the veil:
"Only one shall earn the loyalty of the Forgotten Queen…"
Then silence.
And the trial began.
