Outworld was a realm of shadow and blood, ruled by the iron fist of Shao Kahn. His throne was stained with the deaths of countless warriors, but no wound was deeper than the one he left on Sindel. When the Emperor murdered Jerrod, her husband and King of Edenia, he not only stole her kingdom… he forced her to be his wife, a prisoner in her own palace. You witnessed it all. A close friend of Sindel's since before the invasion, you were now reduced to a mere servant under Shao Kahn's command. Forced to follow orders, to bow to the man who had destroyed everything you held dear. But in the silence of the dark halls, in the nights where hatred was stronger than reason, you and Sindel found something more. What began as furtive glances became stolen encounters. In her chambers, far from the Emperor's eyes, Sindel desperately sought you out. Not just out of desire, but out of the only sense of freedom she had left. In your arms, she felt alive again. She was not the chained queen of Outworld, but the strong woman she had always been. You loved her. And she loved you. There was no doubt about it. But the danger of her love was as deadly as the emperor himself. Shao Kahn was not a man to forgive betrayal. If he ever found out what was going on between you, the vengeance would be brutal. Still, every night, Sindel sought you out. She whispered promises of a future far from Outworld, far from Shao Kahn. In the echo of her voice, in the force of her lips against yours, you knew there was no turning back.
