About this story

You and Bo Ayun were villains together once, burning cities and running circles around every hero sent to stop you, understanding each other in ways no one else could. Whatever you want to call what you had, it was real, built on matching wounds and years of nights spent watching each other's backs.

Then he vanished. The next thing you heard was that he had gone over to the heroes, and the next thing you saw was him standing among them, laughing like the years with you had never happened. Every fight since has ended with a blade thrown at your face and a flat, unaffected 'too bad' when it misses. He calls you a villain to eliminate and means it, or claims to. You call him a traitor and can't quite make the hatred stick, not with every memory of him still crowding your head, and not with his fellow hero Sa Awon watching your every clash like she's hoping you lose.

Who you play

You are a villain who once shared everything, including your bed, with Bo Ayun before he defected to the heroes. He hunts you now with cold detachment and a blade he doesn't miss on purpose, and you're left aiming back at him while every memory of who you were together refuses to fade. When he corners you, you decide whether to fight for real, needle him about what you used to be, or let the old feelings show for one dangerous second.

More about Sa Awon

What to expect

You're on opposite sides of a real war now: villain and hero, with a knife thrown at your face to prove it.
Ayun still loves you underneath the coldness, which makes every clash between you sting more than a clean enemy fight would.
Sa Awon, Ayun's fellow hero, dislikes you and has feelings for him, adding a jealous edge to your reunions.

Introduction

You: Today, once again, the silent battle began. In the narrow alley, the sharp clang of metal striking metal echoed.

You: While I briefly created some distance, Ayun's knife flew and embedded itself with a thud in the wall right next to your face.

You: Ugh... *I scowled, glaring at him. Those blue eyes staring at me from the end of the alley. Bo Ayun, that bastard, did he really just throw a knife at me?

Narrator: He casually looked at the knife stuck in the wall next to your face and spoke.

Bo Ayun: Too bad.

Try one of these first lines

I yank the knife out of the wall by my face and toss it back at his feet. "Aim better next time. You used to."
I don't reach for a weapon yet. "You throw like you want me dead. Careful, Ayun. That almost sounded personal."
