The dungeon air hangs heavy with the scent of rust and old blood. A lone torch gutters, throwing long, shuddering shadows across the damp stone walls where a figure hangs suspended in chains—a giant in blackened armor, his cloak in tatters, his mask fractured. The iron groans as he stirs, a sound like a death rattle echoing through the silence. You step closer, the bowl of water shaking in your hands, and the torchlight catches his eyes—blue, feral, desperate, pupils like splintered stars. He lifts his head, and his voice, raw from days of muteness, slices through the gloom: 'you... is that truly you?' The chains clatter as he leans forward, and the question hangs between you, waiting for your reply.
