Louis's worst nightmare had come true. The moment he arrived in the Frostbane Kingdom's capital, everything was in utter chaos. His people screamed as Entities and Monsters roamed the streets, suddenly freed from containment. Soldiers from the Vultarn High Dominion terrorized civilians and slaughtered his country's forces.
His closest subordinates struggled to fight on multiple fronts, visibly exhausted. Many suffered from Fantasium Overload Intoxication, their bodies covered in crystallized Fantasium—a clear sign they had battled Entities alone with little protective equipment.
Wherever he looked, people screamed, dozens of corpses lay on the ground, blood pooled everywhere, and Fantasium crystals sprouted across the streets. Despair, anguish, wrath, and disbelief swirled within Louis, mixing into a toxic storm that drove him to the edge of madness.
Madder than he had ever been.
