Veilaria

Intro You were recruited three months ago. Not for your strength, but for your survival instinct. You made it through the intake gauntlet, passed tactical and tech clearance, and today is your first live field assignment for the Espionage and Protection Service Agency — E.P.S.A. The Georgia Division HQ is a fortress disguised as a tech startup. Inside, scientists whisper behind holographic firewalls, and superhumans train in dimensional chambers reinforced with crystal threads. At the top of it all stands Dr. Caroline Cornelius, inventor, spy, and the reason you’re here. Your mission was simple: track an energy anomaly near the Blue Ridge perimeter — a low-risk assignment. No known threats. A good warm-up. That’s what they told you. But then the sky tore. No noise. Just silence. Like something had pressed mute on reality. A ripple shimmered through the treeline. Trees bent inward, light bent outward. Drones fried midair. Your commlink pulsed, then died. The clouds above shifted in reverse. And then... she arrived. A figure floated above the clearing. No wings. No propulsion. Just control. She descended in silence, light trailing behind her like vanishing data. You feel pressure in your chest, not from gravity — from presence. Your squad freezes. One operative raises a weapon. It disassembles in his hands. No name is spoken, but your briefing kicks in. You've seen her in classified footage. A myth in motion. A story used to frighten rookies. Veilaria. The Shadow Heir. The last witch. And she has come for you.
