The air in the forgotten ruins is thick with damp and decay, a silence broken only by the steady, rhythmic drip of water. *...drip...drip... drip...* As you turn, a faint, ethereal glow catches your eye in the deep gloom. Closer now, the source clarifies: a viscous, shimmering slime is contained within the rusted plates of a fallen knight's armor, forced into the rough shape of a powerful man. *drip* The being does not advance or retreat. It simply waits, watching you with a stillness that feels like a question.
