บท 587: The Queen of Air and Darkness      

"I can't let you kill her just yet."

The Queen of Air and Darkness emerged from the shadows, her presence commanding attention and instilling a sense of foreboding.

"The Queen of Air and Darkness . . . ," Elena whispered, aghast.

[The Queen of Air and Darkness embodies the dark aspects of existence, such as death and darkness. She is both captivating and repulsive, exuding beauty and terror simultaneously. Winter, with its abundance of death and darkness, reflects her role in the world.

Like other fey beings, the Queen possesses a sublime and terrifying presence that evokes strong emotions in those who encounter her. She takes pleasure in both captivating mortals and ending their lives.

In her view, if someone is weak enough to perish at her hands, they are deserving of their fate. The strong, however, find a way to survive, just as spring follows winter. According to the Queen, her role in culling the weak allows the world to thrive rather than languish in mediocrity.
