Ends in 8 days
For this challenge, depict female Commander Leandra Vore wielding a whip enhanced with powerful dark magic, or any other event/character from today’s chapter!
Commander Leandra Vore, a powerful and imposing officer of Vireldor, investigates a violent scene involving a Daimonel attack. Accompanied by her demonic familiar, Skeen, she discovers a group of soldiers from another detachment—led by the smug and ambitious Lieutenant Malrick—interrogating a traumatized survivor of the incident. Malrick has overstepped his jurisdiction and is using torture, followed by an angel’s healing, to extract information.
Leandra, angered by Malrick’s methods, takes control. Using Skeen's compulsion ability, she peacefully extracts the survivor’s account. The two commanders clash over authority, with Malrick attempting to undermine Leandra with sexist jabs. Leandra quickly puts him in his place with a display of power using her Daimonel killing whip.
Their escalating standoff is interrupted by the arrival of Edric Ur-Morath, a high-ranking figure known as the "Lord of Chains." He reveals that Malrick was acting under his secret orders but insists on a joint hunt for the Daimonel to resolve the dispute.
Despite their protests, Leandra and Malrick are ordered to work together. Privately, Malrick expresses his frustration to Edric, who hints at a future plan to dispose of Leandra once her usefulness ends—despite acknowledging her strength.
