With a furious twist of your body, you whip the glowing chains toward the High Priestess. The liquid light hardens into razor-sharp crystalline strands that slice through the air with a sound like breaking glass. The elderly woman raises her gnarled staff just in time to deflect the first strike, but the second lashes across her shoulders, sending her sprawling onto the sacred stones.

The crowd's horrified screams are drowned out by the crown's piercing wail as it continues to unravel on your head. The broken gems now float around you like malevolent satellites, each shard reflecting a different nightmare future where you rule over smoldering constellations. The Moonweaver gathers her silver robes around her and begins an intricate dance, her movements weaving protective sigils in the air.

The Sunforged Knight draws his blazing sword, its edge white-hot with contained supernovas. 'You were to be our queen,' he booms, his voice shaking loose pebbles from the cliffside. 'Not our destroyer.' The Voidwalker simply extends a hand, and the space between you warps like a disturbed pool of ink.

The chains respond to your rage, multiplying into dozens of searing tendrils that lash out indiscriminately. One strikes the sacred altar, cleaving the obsidian slab in two with a thunderous crack. Another wraps around a nearby boulder and hurls it toward the retreating villagers. You feel the crown's broken power fusing with your blood, turning your veins into glowing circuits of cosmic fury.

The priestess crawls toward you through the chaos, her wounded shoulder leaving a trail of iridescent blood that evaporates into stardust. 'Child of the void,' she gasps, 'the stars still speak through your violence. There is yet time to-' Her words cut off as you raise another glowing chain above her like a executioner's blade, its light casting your twisted shadow across the sacred cliffs.

What will you do next?
