It pulsed with dark energy, pulling the rogue deeper into the curse, deeper into the maelstrom of darkness that surrounded them all. The vortex roared, a cacophony of power and chaos, and the air crackled with tension, each heartbeat synchronized with the imminent destruction lurking around them.
Adrian's voice trembled but carried the weight of desperation. "Rogue! Don't let it consume you!" His hands were clenched so tightly his knuckles whitened, as if he could physically pull his friend back from the abyss with sheer will. The cracks in the earth mirrored the ones forming in his heart—fissures that widened with every step the rogue took toward the dark pool.
"I don’t have a choice, Adrian." The rogue’s voice was a strained whisper, suffocated by the relic’s power. His glowing eyes flickered for a brief moment, almost human, almo

The sky split open with tendrils of darkness, writhing as the ancient evil poured through, an unstoppable force bending reality to its will. The rogue stood at the epicenter, his form trembling as the relic in his hand pulsed with malignant power, dragging him closer to the abyss.

His friends’ voices had become distant echoes, drowned in the storm of ancient magic that swirled around him.“You know this will only end one way,” the ancient evil’s voice curled through his mind like a serpent. Its words dripped with malice, but there was no denying their pull. “You were never strong enough to resist me. Why struggle when you could simply rule? Embrace the darkness, and I will give you everything you’ve ever wanted. Power, control, freedom.”The rogue’s jaw tightened. Freedom? The word itself felt like a mockery.

"You're doing great, Adrian," Emma said, her voice steady. "Just keep your focus."Adrian nodded, his jaw tightening as he tried to maintain control. The pebble steadied, floating smoothly in the air. He couldn't help but smile, feeling a sense of accomplishment.Emma stepped closer, her eyes never leaving the pebble. "Now, move it to the left, slowly."Taking a deep breath, Adrian shifted his focus. The pebble obeyed, gliding to the left. His control wavered for a moment, but he quickly regained it, guiding the pebble in a smooth arc."Excellent," Emma praised. "You're getting the hang of it."Before Adrian could respond, a sudden gust of wind disrupted his concentration.

"Adrian, thank goodness you're here," she breathed, her voice a soft melody in the stillness."What's wrong, Emma?" Adrian asked, his brows furrowing as he scanned their surroundings, half-expecting something to leap out from the shadows."It's... hard to explain," Emma started hesitantly, her fingers nervously twisting the strap of her bag. "I was walking home when I felt... watched. And then I heard whispers—voices that seemed to come from nowhere."Adrian's jaw tightened. "Whispers? Did you recognize any of the voices?"Emma shook her head, a shiver coursing through her slender frame. "No, it was like gibberish, but it felt... menacing."Before Adrian could respond, a cold wind swept through the square, extinguishing the nearby gas lamps in an eerie sequence.

"You seem troubled, Victor," Vanessa remarked, her voice a soft murmur cutting through the tense air.Victor turned to face her, his brow furrowed in contemplation. "It's Adrian," he finally admitted, his tone laced with determination. "His influence grows, and we must act swiftly."Vanessa nodded, her eyes narrowing with resolve. "What's the next move?""We strike at his weakest point," Victor replied, his gaze shifting back to the map. "His financial dealings in Asia—they're vulnerable."Vanessa studied the map intently, tracing the lines with her finger. "And you believe this will expose him?""It's a start," Victor affirmed, his mind already racing ahead to the implications. "But we need to ensure every detail is accounted for.

The Rogue’s Curse
The darkness thickened. Tendrils of the cursed relic snaked tighter around the rogue, the very air trembling as if reality itself was rejecting his presence. His hands shook as the relic pulsed, its malignant energy seeping deeper into his skin, sinking into his soul. His eyes flared, no longer his own—gleaming with a malevolent light that promised only destruction."Rogue!" Adrian’s voice cut through the void like a desperate prayer, fierce yet tinged with fear. He could see it, the shift in his friend's gaze, the glint of madness inching closer with every second. “You have to fight this! You can fight this!”But the rogue did not answer.

"You have failed. You sought to sacrifice yourself, but instead, you have doomed them all. You are weak, foolish. Your fight is meaningless."The rogue's body tensed, the words cutting deep into his heart, where doubt already festered. But deeper still, a fire burned. His defiance had always been the sharpest blade he wielded. "I will not fall to your lies!" he snarled, though even as the words left his lips, he questioned
