The sky bleeds sickly orange, the same hue as the crumbling earth beneath your feet. No movement, no sound—just the hollow wind across a dead world. A dark opening gapes in the ground ahead, a staircase to nowhere. You step toward it, and suddenly, jagged ice erupts from the dust, blocking your path. A voice, cold and immense, scrapes inside your skull: **"And who are *you*?"** It growls, the air itself seeming to tighten around you.
