But when Drayvex himself loses the relic to a traitor to the throne, Ruby coerces him -the tyrant king with a soft spot for humanity- into helping her save her pokey old world village from becoming a ground zero of mass demonic carnage. Both invested in reclaiming the relic, the one thing Ruby and Drayvex agree on is that it's in the wrong hands.
