Side Story: Betrayer

This took much longer than expected! Big apologies for the delay--if you recall the devlog from several weeks ago, I had intended to pursue a more innovative format, where the story is told from the perspective of a historian reviewing Ilya's letters centuries after the story had concluded. It was a fun idea to toy around with, but ultimately left little room for emotive writing! As a result, I ended up scrapping the first version of this story and starting it over from scratch.

Betrayer now instead reads much more like an Ilya version of Sunblind or Errand Boy. It sits at 3300 words, and allows you to input your mage's name and pronouns. Since it also includes segments that happen pre-execution, there will be a few choices scattered throughout that you can peruse to act in accordance with your mage's personality.

This is not the side story for June, and there will be another one that will be posted close to the end of the month. Thank you so much for your patience!
