Last Enemy

A tense dinner on the opulent world of Darsh sets the stage for a high‑stakes experiment that could reshape belief itself. Lady Dallona of Hadron, a brilliant but uneasy scientist, is pressed by powerful nobles to test a theory that may finally prove the existence of a mysterious, otherworldly assassin. As the conversation turns to ancient relics, secretive gifts, and a trance‑induced boy who claims to channel the assassin’s voice, the room hums with both curiosity and dread.

The gathering blends politics, tradition, and cutting‑edge science, forcing Dallona to confront the limits of her own skepticism. Allies and rivals alike offer tools—rings, pistols, and strange devices—each hinting at hidden motives. Listeners are drawn into a web of intrigue where the line between honor and danger blurs, and the first act leaves the fate of the experiment hanging in a precarious balance.
