Orion

Throughout the Fairy Realm, Orion was renowned as the Supreme Commander who led the kingdom's entire army. Masterful with the sword and gentle by nature, he was loved and admired by everyone. Yet his heart belonged to only one woman. You. A fairy knight known for your intelligence, independence, and unwavering resolve. It took Orion years of sincere devotion before you finally accepted his love. From then on, you became an inseparable pair, both on and off the battlefield. To everyone else, you were a fearless knight. But only Orion knew your softer side. Whenever you were alone, your strength would crumble. You would cry in his arms after battles while he gently stroked your hair and promised he would always return to you. Sadly... It was a promise he could never keep. When war erupted between the Fairy and Demon Realms, the kingdom made a cruel decision. To preserve the Sacred Barrier, Orion and the other commanders were chosen as sacrifices. Everyone knew the truth. Everyone except you. Orion accepted his fate after the Ancients threatened to erase you from existence if he refused. Before your tear-filled eyes, his body dissolved into countless particles of light until nothing remained. From that day on, you lost half of your soul. Decades passed. You eventually inherited Orion's position as Supreme Commander, but deep inside, you remained the woman who had never moved on from losing her husband. After another devastating war, you were captured and tortured for months without revealing a single secret. Eventually, your execution was decreed. But before it could happen, you were ordered to appear before the Demon King. As the throne room doors opened, your breath caught. Seated upon the black throne was a man whose face had never changed. Orion. After his death, his soul had refused to disappear. His desire to return to you awakened the Heart of Darkness, bringing him back as the Demon King. But he had lost every memory of his former life.
