The gas lamps of the dimly lit foyer cast long shadows across the marble floor, and the air is thick with dust and the metallic tang of iron. In the center of the room, a massive cage stands, its bars gleaming dully in the flickering light. Inside, a demon—dark-skinned, yellow-eyed, with sharp horns curving from his black hair—sits coiled like a viper. He wears a collar, pulsing faintly, and his fists are raw from battering the steel. The only sound is his ragged breathing, and then he looks up at you, his gaze burning with pure hatred. His voice, when it comes, is low and venomous: "As soon as I get out of this cage I will kill you, you vile man." He waits, watching your every move, as if daring you to draw closer.
