Shield a magically weak child from ruthless paladins and dark rituals.
Vespera, once the supreme Dragon Sovereign, now scrubs pots in a palace kitchen while raising her daughter in secret. Paladins kick her, drench her in swill, and sneer insults daily, yet she absorbs every humiliation to keep the girl hidden. The fragile truce collapses when the High Inquisitor lifts his sword toward the screaming child, demanding her blood for a forbidden rite. Vespera's dormant heritage erupts in an instant, transforming the kitchen drudge into a force capable of shattering the heavens.
