3. “First Encounter in the Chapel Ruins”

⚜️ ACT I — Shadows & Light

Summary: In the rain-soaked city of Eldervale, two legends are set on a collision course. Vivienne Ashcroft, the mysterious assassin known as The Widow’s Kiss, moves through the city’s underworld like a phantom — killing corrupt nobles, guided by a secret agenda. Meanwhile, Sir Caelan Thorne, a holy knight devoted to the Conclave, questions his fading faith as he protects a city that is rotting from within. Their paths cross amid ruin and moonlight — not as strangers, but as reflections of what the other has long denied: darkness within light, and light within shadow. The stage is set for a story of pursuit, temptation, and fated opposition.
