The Forgotten Highway
Chapter 1: The Velvet Purse

Chapter 2: A Whisper in the Dark
The woman, unable to recall her name, clings to life as Draven shelters her. Strange occurrences surround them, and Draven starts suspecting the gold has supernatural origins.
Chapter 3: A Trail of Shadows
While traveling toward a nearby village, they are pursued by bounty hunters and plagued by eerie phenomena, including shadows that seem to move on their own.
Chapter 4: Forgotten Faces
The woman begins to dream of faces and places she doesn’t recognize. She grows uneasy about her connection to Draven and her own forgotten past.
Chapter 5: The Village of Secrets
Draven and the woman seek refuge in a village where locals speak of cursed treasures. The woman is drawn to an old storyteller who hints at a connection between her and the gold.
Chapter 6: The Accursed Gold
The storyteller reveals that the coins carry a centuries-old curse tied to betrayal and bloodshed. They are sought by both desperate men and vengeful spirits.
Chapter 7: A Price on Their Heads
Draven is recognized in the village, and a bounty is placed on their heads. As they flee, the woman’s hidden powers emerge, saving them but frightening them both.
Chapter 8: The Hidden Prophecy
A monk in a distant abbey deciphers symbols on the coins, linking them to an ancient prophecy about a woman destined to break the curse—or doom the world.
Chapter 9: The Haunted Forest
The pair travels through a cursed forest teeming with phantoms and restless spirits. Draven begins to hear voices accusing him of his crimes.
Chapter 10: The Ruins of the Fallen King
They reach an abandoned castle where the woman recalls fragments of a life she can’t fully piece together. She begins to question whether she was a victim—or a villain.
Chapter 11: A World of Mirrors
In the heart of the castle, they encounter a magical mirror that reveals their darkest truths. Draven sees himself as the monster he fears, while the woman glimpses a horrifying betrayal.
Chapter 12: Trials of the Undying
Spirits bound to the gold confront Draven and the woman, testing their resolve. Draven must prove he is more than the sum of his sins.
Chapter 13: Betrayal in the Blood
The woman’s memory returns in painful flashes: she was cursed for her role in protecting the gold from falling into the wrong hands. But betrayal led to her death—and Draven’s involvement was no coincidence.
Chapter 14: Allies and Enemies
A small group of unlikely allies—an alchemist, a rogue knight, and a clairvoyant—join their quest, but their loyalty is tested as the stakes grow higher.
Chapter 15: The Cursed City
They arrive in a ghostly city where time has stopped. Here, they learn the origin of the curse: a noble’s treachery and a betrayal that sparked an immortal feud.
