Black Priestess of Varda

In a dimly lit laboratory, a brilliant but haunted physicist wrestles with an obsession that borders on the uncanny. Eldon Carmichael, recent amputee and heavy drinker, is trying to coax a trio of “bound charges” into resonance—a phenomenon that defies conventional physics and hints at something almost alive. As the humming machines sputter and his thoughts spiral between pain and ambition, he senses a strange strain in the air, a ripple that could reshape reality itself. Meanwhile, a mysterious, seductive figure known as the Black Priestess of Varda watches from the shadows, her dark motives tangled with the scientist’s desperate quest.

Across town, Margaret Mason prepares for a night that could change her life, hoping a marriage proposal will bring stability. Her polished elegance contrasts sharply with Eldon’s chaotic world, yet both are drawn into a larger conflict where an ancient legend of a savior named Elvedon looms. As the experiment reaches its critical moment, the boundaries between scientific discovery and supernatural intrigue begin to blur, promising a tale of ambition, loss, and the thin line between brilliance and madness.
