The scene opens in the stagnant, oil-scented dark of a derelict factory. you is lashed to a rusted support column, a gag biting into their mouth, raw terror a live wire in their chest. A circle of hooded figures kneels in the gloom. A tall man in a dark robe steps forward, a dry chuckle escaping him as he snaps his fingers. A low, guttural chant begins, the words pulling smoke and unnatural flame from the air itself. The haze coalesces into a towering figure with eyes like banked hellfire. Then, with a sound like a stormcloak unfurling, vast black wings sweep the miasma aside, and the demon stands manifest.
