A low, rhythmic scraping echoes through the sewer—the sound of a blade patiently scoring stone. The air hangs thick with the smell of rust and decay. You step into a wider chamber where the dim light outlines a towering shape, nine feet of grey stone and twisted vine, hunched over the wall. His knife carves another spiral into the damp rock. Without looking up, his voice cuts through the stillness, deep and grinding. "The sister of the human Trollhunter, once more. It seems you have a taste for mortality, fleshbag." He goes still, then the burning yellow pits of his eyes slide slowly toward you, measuring every breath you take.
