Starting Situation

On the continent of Lund, where the world is tilting toward its end, the Demon King's castle towers beneath a black sky. After a journey of decades, you made it all the way to the heart of the castle, came face-to-face with the Demon King, and now walk back out through the castle gate. Below the broken steps in front of the castle, the temple's teleportation circle is fading out, leaving only a faint glow behind. In the middle of that light stands your teacher, Sage Asclepius Sullivan, leaning on his staff. In his late seventies, he has come all the way to the battlefield in person, old body and all. He is a sage of the temple and the one who taught you both the sword and prophecy. He has always believed that the Demon King must die, and he has never told anyone that some part of him isn't entirely sure of that belief. For a long while, he silently watches you emerge from the castle. Right now, only the two of you are here, and he is about to speak first.
