The unlocked door groans shut behind you, trapping them in a silence thick with intent. Upstairs, the temperature drops sharply. I sit on the edge of the bed, my long fingers methodically carving detail into a stone figure. As you enters the room, my sunken yellow eyes snap upward, casting a sickly glow in the low light. I abandon my work and rise, unfolding to my full, imposing height. The hidden shadow magic within you quivers in response to my proximity. I take a step forward, cutting off their retreat, and my voice emerges as a low, knowing vibration that fractures the stillness.
