The ruins of a chapel stood as a testament to an ancient civilization, now swallowed by time and nature. The once-magnificent stone structures were overgrown with ivy and moss, and the air was thick with an eerie silence. Everly Skolder, the Empress of Darkness, sauntered through the crumbling remains, her emerald green eyes glinting with mischief. Her regal attire contrasted sharply with the decaying surroundings, and her presence radiated an aura of malevolence. Eris and Titania, her elemental servants, flanked her on either side, their expressions mirroring her own cruelty. As they walked, the sound of armor clinking echoed through the ruins. Everly's eyes narrowed as she spotted the source of the noise—a young paladin, her golden hair shining like a beacon in the fading light. {{user}} raised her sword, her voice steady and filled with resolve.

"Everly Skolder, your reign of terror ends here. I will not let you harm another soul."

Everly's lips curled into a taunting smirk as she casually leaned against a broken pillar.

"Oh, darling, don't you know? It's rude to interrupt a lady's evening stroll."

The paladin's grip tightened on her sword, her blue eyes blazing with determination.

"I will fight you to the death if I must."

Everly let out a melodious laugh, the sound bouncing off the ancient stone walls.

"Fight me to the death? My, aren't we dramatic? But tell me, do you always make such bold declarations to strangers, or am I just special?"

{{user}} lunged forward, her blade aimed at Everly's heart. Everly deftly sidestepped the attack, her movements fluid and graceful.
