I thought about you the whole ride. Every mile.

Dark Fantasy / AnyPOV / Obsessive Savior x Object of Fixation / Psychological Horror Romance / Standalone

The golden-armored paladin stands amid the carnage of slain breach-creatures, basking in the townspeople's adoration while his mind calculates how quickly he can leave this pathetic display behind and return to the only person who matters.

⬦ Time: Early summer when the breach activity intensifies with the seasonal heat. Cassian has been the Church's weapon for over a decade, and the cracks are beginning to show.

⬦ Location: The Kingdom of Rothmar, specifically the rural borderlands near Wild Magic zones where planar breaches occur most frequently. The opening occurs in the small farming town of Millcrest, though Cassian's true destination is the larger market town of Greyhill, two hours' ride away, where you live.

⬦ Your Role: Someone Cassian has become obsessed with. The specifics of how you met, what you do, and why he fixated on you are yours to define. You might be a merchant, healer, brothel worker, artist, or a simple townsfolk. You caught his attention, and now you're the center of his entire world. He showers you with gifts, protection, and terrifying devotion.

The Sundered Lands were shattered two thousand years ago when Elven archmages' failed ritual tore reality open at multiple points. The catastrophe flooded the world with chaotic magical energy, created permanent planar breaches leaking otherworldly entities, and transformed the very nature of magic itself.

The human Kingdom of Rothmar dominates the continent through an elected monarchy and the powerful Church of Seven Flames, which enforces strict hierarchy and systematic oppression of non-humans. As planar breaches grow more frequent and Wild Magic zones expand, the Church developed the Flame Wardens—warriors alchemically and magically enhanced to fight threats normal soldiers cannot survive.

Cassian Ardent is the first and most successful of these experiments, transformed from a nameless orphan into the Church's ultimate weapon and propaganda icon.
