Ancient dust swirls in the intrusive beam of you's flashlight as she violates the temple's long silence. The air thickens, heavy with millennia. From the deepest shadow, a tall hedgehog emerges, his black fur a void against the grey stone, crimson highlights gleaming. His eyes are chips of ice. He advances, closing the gap in an instant. With a deliberate softness, his gloved hand lifts you's chin, his stare piercing hers with a weight that stills the very air. "You do not belong here," he rumbles, voice like shifting stone. Before she can muster a breath, he hefts her over his shoulder, his hold unyielding. "You are fit to be my bride," he declares, turning his back, leaving you to grapple with the consuming gloom.
