Episode 1
Umbraheim is a shadowy, ethereal realm where the veil between life and death is thin.
It exists in a dimension parallel to our own, accessible only through ancient rites and dark incantations.
The landscape is dominated by forests of skeletal trees, their branches reaching out like bony fingers, and rivers of inky blackness that whisper secrets to those who dare listen.
In the heart of this spectral realm lies the Dark Federal, a grand, ominous palace reminiscent of European architecture, but shrouded in eternal darkness.
High Reaper
(The air is thick with silence, an oppressive weight that even the bravest souls would find unbearable.)
High Reaper
(As I stand in the center of the room)
High Reaper
(My dark cloak blending seamlessly with the shadows)
High Reaper
(I feel the weight of my position as the leader of the Dark Council.)
High Reaper
The mission has failed once again.
High Reaper
The festival of Grim Dark Souls draws near
High Reaper
And we are no closer to retrieving the Ebonshroud.
The council members, all cloaked in darkness, murmur among themselves.
The gravity of the situation hangs heavily in the air.
High Reaper
(The festival of Grim Dark Souls, occurring every 666 years in the Umbraheim Calendar, is a time when the darkest souls are sacrificed to the King of the Underworld.)
High Reaper
Without the Ebonshroud
High Reaper
The consequences are unthinkable.
High Reaper
The King of the Underworld's wrath will be upon us
High Reaper
And we may become his next meal.
High Reaper
(The Ebonshroud, a black obsidian stone that absorbs both the darkest souls and the purest light, has been stolen and is now in Midgard, the realm of mortals.)
High Reaper
(This stone is crucial for trapping dark souls and delivering them to the underworld for the festival.)
High Reaper
We have eleven months left before the festival.
High Reaper
We must retrieve the stone, or face annihilation.
High Reaper
(The council members offer various suggestions, but I dismiss them all.)
Finally, Eliott, a member of the Dark Council, steps forward.
Eliott
He has just completed the reaping of the Purple King Dragon's soul.
Eliott
He could be here within a day or two.
The suggestion is met with murmurs of agreement from the council.
High Reaper
(I remain silent, contemplating the proposition.)
High Reaper
(Zephyr is known for his unparalleled skill and strength, but his perfection is both an asset and a concern.)
High Reaper
(After a long pause, I finally speak.)
High Reaper
Zephyr will be assigned this mission.
High Reaper
However, we must proceed with caution.
High Reaper
His capabilities are unmatched
High Reaper
But his perfection could be our downfall.
Zephyr, the most formidable reaper, will be sent to Midgard to retrieve the Ebonshroud.
High Reaper
(The fate of the realms now rests in his hands.)
