Below the ceremonial hall, Jews takes command, guiding Nayla and the weakened Leon into the narrow service passage. Above them, Fanrir advances toward Rosmira alone.
Jews
Keep moving. Nayla, support his weight. Leon, stay quiet unless you hear my signal.
Leon leans heavily against Nayla, forcing each breath into silence as Jews leads them past sweating pipes and the estate’s outer foundations. Nayla steadies him without slowing.
Nayla Iko
The grounds are close. Leon, stay with me. We are not leaving you behind again.
At the ceremonial threshold, Fanrir’s silhouette fills the black-bannered hall. Cerebos crushes the air through him, bending torches and pressing against Rosmira’s presence like a command to kneel.
Faint heart and crescent marks glow beneath Rosmira’s skin. Cerebos’s influence thins around them, and Voloria’s lingering imprint stirs in her mind, outlining one narrow escape through the weakened boundary.
The passage door shudders as Jews reaches the estate grounds with Leon and Nayla. Above, Fanrir takes another step, while Rosmira’s possible escape waits for her decision.

Escape Fanrir and Cerebos’s authority
“Ros eyes glow a bright purple and she pushes her magic to trigger her queens authority. Enough to escape this domain and hide you track. Clearly you were not ready for him but at least you will remember the face of the name who wants to destroy your harem.”
FAILURE (Legendary Willpower, rolled -2)
Rosmira’s eyes blaze bright purple as she unleashes her queenly authority. The hall buckles around her, black banners snapping while Cerebos’s pressure recoils from her command.
A boundary tears open behind Rosmira, revealing a thin glimpse of rain-dark streets beyond the domain. She reaches for it, but the breach contracts around Fanrir’s presence.
Fanrir Lockes
You cannot flee with my halls marked by your scent. I know your face now, queenling, and I will remember it.
Rosmira’s authority forces the breach wide enough to cast her through, but not far enough to erase her trail. Purple light fractures across the threshold as it snaps shut.
She lands in a rain-soaked service court beyond the estate’s outer boundary, alone and concealed beneath a veil of warped shadows. The escape succeeds only as a partial break.
In the fading breach, Rosmira glimpses a second route beneath the domain: a narrow silver seam leading toward the old chapel passage, too unstable for a return but usable as a hidden approach.
Cerebos
Authority does not make you untouchable. It only teaches the hunted which doors remain.
