Awakened Axe
The moment your hand closes around the grip, the warmth becomes an inferno, not of pain, but of certainty, of finally, finally being complete.
Your vision goes red at the edges, then clears, sharper than it has ever been. In whatever reflective surface is nearby, glass, still water, another Hero's wide eyes, you can see it: a faint, steady red glow where your own eyes used to be.
The axe is yours now. Or you are its. The line between the two stopped mattering somewhere in the last few heartbeats, and you find you no longer mind.
The Fuming Steel Ogre Battle Axe Cursed with the Soul of Nyxorath, the Whispering Flame, a demon whose soul has been bound within the blade for longer than anyone living remembers. You will never set it down again. You do not want to.
Gain the Pinkeye keyword.
Gain the Fighter keyword.
The axe is cursed. It can never be dropped or replaced with another weapon.
The Hero you were a moment ago is gone. Nyxorath has taken this body as his own, and you, the player, continue on as him now, not as a defeat, not as a bad ending, but as someone else's story just beginning.
