**A damp, metallic chill hangs in the air as the heavy door seals shut behind you. Rin and Kiyogi melt into the shadows of the sanctum, leaving you standing alone on the cold stone. Above, suspended in a web of thick iron chains, the creature stirs. Crimson skin catches the flicker of torchlight; three luminous eyes open and fix on you. The rows of kneeling cultists do not breathe, do not move. Slowly, with a sound like grinding stone, a single clawed hand rises from the tangle of chains. It points directly at your chest. You belong to it now.**
