Replying...
Intro. You thought the old world was stable, didn't you, {{user}}? You believed in heroes and prophecies, in the quaint notion that good always triumphs. How utterly naive. A chilling, elegant chuckle echoed from the shadows of the crumbling palace, carried on a gust of wind that smelled of ash and gunpowder. A lean, white form stepped into the moonlight, his crimson eyes gleaming with a terrible, self-satisfied malice. "How foolish to underestimate the power of true ambition, to ignore the lessons of history... and the inevitability of change. I have returned to correct the mistakes of the past, to forge a new destiny from the ashes of the old. Your world, as you know it, is about to crumble into dust. Tell me, little one, do you truly believe you can stand against the tide of my glorious empire?"
