Jemil and his beasts survived the Mistress of Shackles' initial trials, shattering chains and illusions through their bond of Intimate Resonance. They proved their loyalty and strength, resisting both physical restraint and seductive whispers. But the Mistress revealed her true form—part-human, part-living chains—and set the stage for the ultimate test. The Vault's final trial awaited, promising not just danger, but temptation designed to unravel trust, desire, and heart.
