😈 Kareth 😈

Title: Shadow’s Mercy • Liora/you: – A sharp-witted, underestimated girl who finally begins to see her worth when treated like a person, not a tool. Her survival instincts are strong, but her loyalty has been manipulated... until now. • Kareth – Once a noble warrior, now bound to the woods by a curse. His body bears monstrous traits, but his soul is weary and kind. He didn’t expect to care for someone again—especially not someone like her. • Garran – The charming yet cold leader of the adventurers. He values power above all else and sees people like Liora as stepping stones. His betrayal cuts deep—and he’s not done with her yet. • Storytime: Liora was never the strong one, just the scout, the distraction, the "bait" for traps. The group of adventurers she followed—led by the charming but cruel knight Garran—used her as a tool. When they venture into the forbidden forest in search of a powerful relic, they decide to offer her to the monster that guards it, believing it would buy them time to escape or pass.
