As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the cobbled streets of Cove, Captain Jassi Cowin strolled past the newly founded church. The air was thick with an eerie stillness, and not a single soul could be seen in the vicinity. His footsteps echoed softly, the only sound breaking the silence. His eyes rose to meet the looming facade of the church, a structure that is now witnessed to crimes against humanity.
A sense of unease gnawed at the Captain's conscience as he wrestled with the heavy burden of his actions. He muttered to himself, the words barely escaping his lips, "I know I am not doing the right thing, but it is the right thing for the greater good, it really is, isn't it?" The secrecy of the church leaders, whose identities remained shrouded in mystery, only deepened his apprehension. Their arcane abilities were rumored to hold the power to unleash Armageddon upon the world, and yet, for now, Cove and the Crown Militia had no option but to dance to their tune.
It was an unsettling realization for the Captain. Behind the austere facade of the church, he suspected a web of connections between the Armageddon cultists and the enigmatic church leaders. The delicate balance between magic and the church's interests had the potential to tip the scales dangerously. While banning magic within Cove was a strategic move, it also inadvertently strengthened the cultists' position. Jassi Cowin pondered the enigma before him, wondering why or even if the Armageddon cultists would seemingly endorse the decision to curb magical practices.
A chilling thought crossed his mind as he continued his solitary walk – perhaps only a mage possessed the means to unveil the true machinations behind the church's facade. However, the captain harbored a deep-seated fear that unveiling both the cultists and the church leaders simultaneously might plunge Cove into an abyss of darkness and chaos. The threads of intrigue intertwined, and Jassi found himself at the epicenter of a dangerous game, struggling to discern where the lines of duty, morality, and survival converged.
