The city of Nyx was quiet beneath the starlit sky as Marcus Winchester made his way to his final destination: the rooftop of the grand Cathedral of Aeloria. The imposing structure stood as a testament to the Church's power and influence, its spires reaching towards the heavens. Tonight, Marcus was not here for prayer or solace; he was here for a confrontation.
As he ascended the stairs leading to the rooftop, Marcus's mind wandered to the Aelorian Paladins. These formidable warriors were the secret force of the Church of Aeloria, tasked with enforcing the divine will of the angels. Paladins were Unveiled Humans who fused with angels, gaining a measure of their powers. It was a transformation that came with immense strength but also a loss of autonomy, their actions driven by the celestial beings they were bonded with.
