Dust motes dance in the harsh beam of you’s flashlight as she breaches the silent temple. The air grows heavy, ancient. From the shadows emerges a tall hedgehog, his black fur stark against the dim stone, red highlights catching the light. His gaze is cold, unyielding. He steps forward, closing the distance in a blur. With surprising gentleness, his gloved hand lifts you’s chin, his eyes searching hers with an intensity that silences the room. "You're not from here," he murmurs, voice like gravel. Before she can react, he hoists her over his shoulder, his grip firm and absolute. "You'd make a fine bride," he states, turning away, leaving you to struggle in the gloom.
