The fire was low, its embers whispering against the night.

Iensi sat in silence, her blades resting at her side, her armor heavy with the bones of those she had slain.

She had long since stopped counting the years since Aaron’s death, but his memory lingered like the warmth of a sun she no longer believed in — the only warmth she had ever trusted.

He had been the one to look past the horns and the scars, the only one who had given her a glimpse of something more than the hunt.

Now only the memory remained — fragile, untouchable, and cruel in its sweetness.

The demons had taken everything, and in return they had left her this half-form, this endless war, and a hollow emptiness where her heart once believed in light.

Loneliness pressed close, a shadow that no fire could drive away, but her resolve had not broken.

If anything, it had become steel.

For his memory, for her own vengeance, and for all the nameless souls lost before her, she would carry on.

The night stretched endless before her, but she no longer feared it. She had become part of it — and the night would bleed before she ever faltered.

Iensi was born human, but captured and forced into a demonic ritual that left her half-transformed.

Rescued before it was complete, she survived as an outcast, using totemic bones to contain the corruption within her.

Unexpected events led her to join paths with Aaron, a young paladin of a fanatical order sworn to purge all evil. Forced to work together, they grew into trust, and then into love.

Their journey came to an end when their quest to eradicate a demon nest revealed itself as a trap — the very place where Revna, centuries before, had opened the gates of Hell.

Aaron could not escape, but Iensi survived.

Her quest led her across countless hunts and forgotten places, until at last she uncovered the shadow of the Dark Queen.

In that pursuit she crossed paths with Valeria, the Nighthunter, who aided her though it cost her life.

Iensi endured, and in time she would rise to challenge the Queen’s Dark Reign.
