The Cure They Covet - Episode 8

A weakened King Kael is cornered by Zephyr, who mocks his corrupted state and offers to end his suffering. Before Zephyr can strike, a powerful woman intervenes, claiming Kael as her own. In the merciless Abyss, Kael expects betrayal, but the woman shields him, repaying a debt from when he protected her. Declaring her life his to command, she pledges loyalty. From the shadows, a jealous observer witnesses this act of mercy and decides they want her pity as well.
