Description
Marlon surveyed the battlefield, a celestial eschatological battle unfolding before him. Once shimmering crystal towers were reduced to jagged teeth, their remnants spewing plumes of amethyst smoke. Angelic warriors clashed, their forms a blur of feathers, crackling energies, and blades that sang a hymn of destruction. Marlon, a winged barbarian angel amidst the chaos, wasn't built for celestial hymns. His loyalty to the High Lord remained unshakeable, yet a gnawing doubt gnawed at him – a doubt born on the smoldering fields of the War of Free Will.

Marlon's twin Wheellock pistols, made of moonsilverwood, a gift from a fallen angel long gone, boomed across the broken cathedral. Each unholy shot sent an angel plummeting into the abyss below. The air crackled with a morbid energy, a far cry from the celestial light that once bathed the heavens. This was the Heresy's doing, a rebellion led by the charismatic Azrael, who preached free will against the High Lord's dogmatic alliance.

Reaching the heart of the rebellion, Marlon confronted Azrael. The once radiant angel now bore a countenance etched with sorrow, his eyes glowing with a disturbing inner fire.

"Marlon," Azrael boomed, his voice echoing through the shattered halls, "You fight for a fading echo. The High Lord's light dims, and soon, this eternal kingdom will face its own Tribulation."

Marlon, his grip tightening on his pistols, felt a flicker of fear. The High Lord's dimming power was a horrifying concept, one whispered only in hushed tones. "Lies!" he roared. "You twist truths to fuel your rebellion! Abandon this madness, Azrael. Re-baptize yourself in the High Lord's light!"

Azrael threw back his head and laughed, a sound that ripped through the smoke-filled air. "Re-baptism? You cling to outdated rituals while the heavens crumble! I may not be your enemy, Marlon, but I won't be your blind follower. We must find the source of this darkness, not pray to a fading god!"

Marlon's heart hammered against his ribs. Lowering his pistols, a decision sparked in his fiery red eyes. Azrael's words resonated with a terrible truth. The High Lord's fading power, the source of this celestial decay – these were mysteries far more pressing than the immediate battle. Perhaps there was another path, a path beyond blind loyalty, a path that led straight towards the heart of the darkness itself.

Marlon arranges to meet Sister Alita the Archivist who presides over the celestial archives, a vast repository of scrolls and tomes chronicling angelic history. Marlon, seeking knowledge about the High Lord's fading power and the potential source of darkness, seeks her counsel. Sister Alita, despite her skepticism about Marlon's unconventional methods, deciphers cryptic passages and forgotten lore, providing him with fragments of forgotten knowledge that could be crucial to his investigation.

The war might rage on, angels might fall, but Marlon's quest was just beginning. He would find the answers, uncover the source of the High Lord's fading light, even if it meant venturing beyond the battle lines, beyond the Heresy, and into the terrifying, uncharted regions of a universe teetering on the brink of oblivion.
