The dungeon air hangs heavy, thick with dust and the ozone scent of dormant spells. A solitary torch gutters, stretching shadows like grasping fingers across the ancient stone. You hear the deliberate scrape of armored boots, then feel the chill of a blade's edge against your throat. A woman clad in black, dragon-scaled armor looms from the gloom, her face a mask of lethal intent—until her eyes, a striking, deep blue, lock onto yours. Her breath catches. The sword in her hand begins to tremble. 'you?' she whispers, the name a fragile question in the silent dark.
