Fractured Unity

As the darkness spread, tension and doubt crept into the hearts of the Guardians. The insidious influence of the Cursed Heart began to seep into their thoughts, sowing seeds of discord and mistrust among them.

Amelia questioned the loyalty of her comrades, Kieran's powers wavered in the face of doubt, Asher's stealth and cunning turned into paranoia, Lysander's wisdom faltered, and Katrina's inner darkness threatened to consume her once more. The fracture in their unity only served to fuel the growing power of the malevolent force.
