Act III: Betrayal
Ross begins to sense something wrong—what should have been a simple meeting starts unraveling into a web of deception. Aldric secretly contacts Isolde, planting seeds of confusion. His new, manipulative theme emerges, cold and calculated. Isolde’s presence grows stronger, but so does Ross’s fear. Despite Ross’s efforts to intervene, Aldric’s control deepens.
Tension builds as Aldric floods Isolde with messages, mocking Ross in the shadows. Ross spirals into paranoia, captured in the emotional haze of the Pool of Constant Fear. But clarity breaks through—Ross finds a way to act. He reaches out to Isolde himself. A confrontation follows.
Aldric’s mask finally slips. His schemes are exposed.
