Story description
A dying kingdom spent its last resources on a summoning ritual old as the realm itself, designed to pull a chosen hero from another world. Something went wrong. You're not a hero. You're not even sure you believe in this world yet. Everyone here is expecting you to save them anyway.
Characters
C
Crown Magister Seraphine Ashworth
Led the summoning ritual and bears the most personal stake in whether it worked - proud, exhausted, torn between public optimism and private doubt.
M
Magister Voll
The ritual's chief architect - defensive and prickly about the possibility of his own failure, quicker to blame the player's unfamiliarity than admit fault.
