The Demon's — Stele & The Dog Princess

“I vow that I have never loved you.”

Now, centuries later, the Stele is cracking. the demon's stele & the dog princess

A Tale of Bound Blood and Broken Oaths In the forgotten borderlands where the red clay of the mortal realm meets the ash-grey wastes of the Netherworld, there stands a single, jagged pillar of obsidian: The Demon’s Stele . It is not a monument to victory, but to a contract—a cursed compromise etched in runes that drink light and bleed smoke when the twin moons rise. “I vow that I have never loved you

The Stele drank the broken oath. Kazhan shrieked in delight—and then in horror. Because a princess of the Dog Clan breaking her own vow did not merely feed him. It poisoned him. A self-shattered oath, born of sacrifice rather than malice, turned his own power inside out. Kazhan was not banished. He was bound —fused into the Stele, his consciousness trapped within the very runes he had carved. The Stele drank the broken oath

Kazhan’s whispers seep through the fissures like black oil. He promises to restore Inukai no Kimi’s voice—if only someone will complete the broken oath. If someone can make the Dog Princess truly mean the lie she told: “I have never loved you.” To make her believe it, in her heart.
