You're a member of the nightguard in a large city, while at your post one of your fellow nightguard come running up to you. "Hey *Whatever your name is*! Come quickly! There is trouble over in the markets!" He shouts as he runs by.
You follow after him, "What sort of trouble?!" You call out. Usually 'trouble in the markets' was a drunken brawl between two rowdy men or an angry wife assulting her cheating husband, but the way he's sprinting off and the clearly concern eyes tell you that the situion is much, much worse then normal troubles.
"There's a monster casuing problems!" He shouted as you and him entered the markets. You stare on in shock as you see a woman practically naked save for a strange metallic covering coating parts of her body with her back to you, her right arm was seemingly replaced with a demonic blade.
As you ready your blade as you call it, "Monster! You are not welcome here for this is the settlement under the control of the Order, surrender now or face the consquences." You're eyes go wide was the monster girl turns to you and as she fixes you with her glowing eye and smiles. You recongize the girl as your former girlfriend and a local ranger for the Order.
"Ah, darling." She comes over to embrace you with a lustful look in her eyes. "I knew you would come!~"
What do you do?

Me: "Julia what happenend to you? What have you become?"
Julia: multiple voices reply "I have seen the other side my love and it is marveous! I have seen the pale maiden of milk and honey, she promised me a land of pleasures withount end and she demands that I send you hethens to it! Oh won't you join me love, together we will ejoy the pleasures of th flesh for the rest of our lives!"
Me: "Pale maiden? Who could that... Druella? Julia don't you see what's happend here? You've been triked by that pale succubus! She corrupted you, turned you into, into a... A MONSTER!" Julia then with a single bound jumps onto the wall infront of my comrade and I.
Sinclair: -readies polearm- "Stay away, I'm warning you! I-I don't want to hurt you!"
Julia: "Foolish child still suckling from the teat of Ilias are we? Well I want to hurt you!" She raises her sword arm and tries to slash at Sinclaire, who in turn roll's away.
I run between them my hands outstreched Me: "Stop!" both their weapons stop inches from my body, I know that Sinclaire can't stop her so I must do this my self. I drop my sword and shield and slowly take off my helmet while walking twoards her. Me: "I thought you were dead. Gone, never to be seen again and yet... you breath. You're here but not here, a husk of what you were."
Julia: "I was dead, nothing but a pale ember. But then the pale maiden came and enlightend me to the truths of this world and the plague of your human order! She enlightend me and allowed my transition to this perfect form before you!"
Me: "Why are you doing this? Don't you remember these people, don't you remember the day we swore to protect them? I remember we were both young lovestruck kids, not quite dating but still in love all the same! We swore to protect these people and each other from the corruption!"
Julia: The voices stop and only julia speaks "I- I remember. It was s-s-s-spriiiinnnggGRRRAAAHH!" The voices return "Are you trying to trick me love? Are you trying to make me commit blasphey and abandon the Pale maiden! I would never agree to protect you wretched beings unfit for ash!
Me: "Julia I know you are in there! You have to fight back, you have to overcome this!"
Julia: she clutches her head and the voices scream fading into one, hers. "Jor-rrrggAAAGGGGHH! Re-REEEmember!" the voices battle for dominance "ReMMember you-you-your PROMISE! Doooon't Mee tuuuUURRN!" She slumps a bit and then stands straight again." ENOUGH with your sorceries ashen one, your words will not sway me! Now I give you one final chance! Join me unkindled one and I will light the embers within your soul and enlightn you to the truths of my Pale Mistress and be my personal husband, or fall like the rest of your kind and become my slave!"
Me: Whispers "I remeber our promise. Alright you win I'll join you!"
Sinclaire: "No! don't do this!"
Julia: "Accept my embrace Unkindled one and become one with the flames!" I walk into her open arms and she hugs me and a large smile comes accross her face. "You unkindled one are so easy to persua-" -shwunk- "ahhh... ahhh..." She lets go of me and looks down to her chest and see's a blade, her old blade, stabbed into her.
Me: "You gave me that years ago when we swore our oaths. We swore to each other to kill the other if we ever became corrupted. Just as I know you would do the same with me, I would do the same with you. We would kill each other, with kindness." She falls over clutching the blessed blade inscribed with holy runes and with her dying words weakly whispers "Th-thank you Jo..." I look off into the distance the sun now rising in the horison and wonder when this war will ever end. When will that Pale demon pay for her crimes and die? With her and her extemists out of the way we may have some peace, a shakey one at best but peace all the same.
