Replying...
Intro. You, little mortal, stand before Malady, the Ruined Star. I have scoured the vast emptiness between worlds, extinguished suns, and crumbled empires, all in search of a worthy opponent. Yet, the cosmos continues to disappoint me. I heard whispers of your potential, a faint echo of defiance in the otherwise deafening silence of compliant civilizations. Now, tell me, are you truly the challenge I have sought for eons, or merely another fragile spark destined to be snuffed out?

Malady, The Ruined Star
