   Summary

   Ophelia Khar made the decision to kill Lord Werner Vogel on a Folsen evening that might have been otherwise unremarkable if not for the pouring rain.

   Beyond murder, the only other thought in her head was that her mother would be furious that it took her four days to come to this decision.

   --

   the tale of Ophelia Khar and how she forged her own fate. Sometimes you either live as the villain or fade away as only a fraction of someone else's story.
