The Curse Beneath Crimson Skies

Aiko

Eva Flame flies above a dark forest, her radiance trembling across black needles. Beyond the horizon, the sky is split by distant crimson light, as though the heavens are burning.

Below, a young adult elf woman in white and vermilion shrine robes stumbles across the treetops. Silver charms swing from her braid, while ancient symbols flare along her sleeves.

A vast dragon-shaped shadow circles through the canopy beneath her, blotting out branches without revealing the creature itself. Each pass sends frightened birds spiraling into the night.

Aiko

Aiko

Please, spirit above! My name is Aiko. If you can hear me, warn the villages beyond these woods!

The glowing script races from Aiko’s collar toward her throat, then flashes down her trailing sash. Far below, a faint red shimmer answers from clustered village roofs.

Aiko

Aiko

The curse has crossed the old stones. It spreads wherever the crimson light touches, and the dragon is driving it onward!

The shadow banks sharply. A treetop snaps beneath its unseen passage, and Aiko drops to one knee as the symbols blaze bright enough to paint the forest silver.

The Unseen Dragon

Eva Flame dives through the crimson-lit air, her radiance flaring gold. She sweeps beside Aiko and turns her slim, blazing form between the shrine maiden and the oncoming shadow.

The unseen dragon’s passage descends like a storm over the canopy. Eva’s fire meets the dragon’s dreadful wake, casting a bright shield across Aiko and the trembling treetops.

Aiko

Aiko

You came between us. The old flames guard you, spirit!

The unseen dragon’s shadow recoils from Eva’s brilliance, sliding across the branches instead of engulfing Aiko. Charms along the elf’s braid ring like tiny bells.

Aiko

Aiko

Hold this light! I can seal the crossing while it is driven back.

Aiko rises behind Eva’s radiant barrier, planting both feet among the needles. Her vermilion sash whips in the heated wind as the ancient symbols blaze outward.

Beyond them, the unseen dragon circles into the crimson sky, leaving the villages below untouched for the moment. Eva’s shield still burns between the dragon and the shrine maiden.
