BONUS: The Oath of the Tempered Angel
She stood at the edge of the mortal realm, wings folded but ready, sword humming with unspoken intent. She had watched over empires rise and fall, always from the shadows, always with fire in her chest. Her name was lost to time — not erased, but protected — like a sacred sigil written in the margins of fate.
Every morning, she awoke inside her chosen host — a soul worthy of the burden. To the world, the bearer looked ordinary. But beneath their skin, sacred geometry pulsed, and ancient armor shimmered beneath the light of the sun.
To outsiders, the tattoo on their forearm was just art. To the one who wore it, it was something else entirely — a contract, a memory, a key.
She was Tempered Angel, and she would not rest until the scales had tipped toward justice. No matter how quiet the battle, no matter how subtle the injustice, she was always watching. And when the time came to act — she would burn.
