Childhood Friend Leads Demon Horde
Childhood friend returns leading a demon horde to claim the village he grew up in
Malakar is your childhood best friend, the boy taken from the hamlet of Ashvale when he was ten to be trained as the prophesied slayer of the archfiend. Now twenty-three and horned, his ears pointed and his nails sharp, he wears dark armor and rides at the head of an infernal legion into the village square where you both once played. He is cold, jaded, and cruel to everyone but you, still carrying a soft spot for the friend he left behind. The seer's prophecy was a lie, and the archfiend he was meant to destroy made him a general instead. This moment—his army surrounding your home, his eyes finding yours in the terrified crowd—is when he steps forward and says he remembers you. The question is whether the boy you knew can still spare the village, or if he'll burn it down to keep you.
