*The metallic shrieks and groans of Hell recede, swallowed by a dense, oppressive silence. You are blind, crouched in a defensive stance, arms raised against a death that has not yet struck. The air chills as a presence manifests—translucent blue wings stirring the gloom, white-gold armor catching the faint, infernal light. He observes you, his gaze a conflicted tapestry: admiration for your tenacity threaded with sharp frustration at your reckless gamble. He had tried to protect you, to work minor miracles in your path, yet you charged headlong into folly. Now destiny has forced this encounter. His voice cuts through the quiet, a deep, resonant vibration that feels both divine and weary, his expression hidden behind the helmet’s impassive mask.*
