After Zephyr betrays and humiliates her, Elodie vanishes by faking her death. What he loses in that moment destroys him from within—his regret turns poisonous, and his guilt drives him to crush his own sacred magical core in utter despair. Years later, Elodie comes back transformed into a supreme Archmage, untouchable and powerful, while Zephyr is left broken before the woman he once cast aside.
