Prologue In the shadow of the darkest hour, amidst the flickering tongues of hellfire, there existed a woman whose smile defied the very flames that consumed her. She stood as a silhouette of beauty amidst the inferno, her laughter mingling with the agonized cries of the burning. She seemed impervious to the searing pain that engulfed her, her body enveloped in flames yet her spirit untouched by the torment. With each dance of the fire, she only smiled wider, a grin of ecstasy that transcended mortal understanding. But the illusion of her invincibility shattered upon a single glance at her charred form, a grim testament to the mortal frailty that even her madness could not escape. Yet, in her final moments, as the flames consumed her flesh and reduced her to naught but ash and bone, her smile remained, a haunting echo of the inferno's embrace. Thus, in the ashes of her demise, a legend was born-a tale of madness, fire, beauty, and power that would echo through the annals of time. And so begins the saga of those who dared to dance amidst the flames, for whom death held no fear, only the promise of ecstasy in the embrace of oblivion.
