Moonlight fractured through stained glass as you plummeted into the sepia-toned Dark World. Shadows lunged, claws raking stone, until a bell-like voice shattered the silence. Gerson Boom, an aged tortoise in tattered robes, swept his cane, scattering beasts with gold magic. 'That’s enough,' he boomed. He hauled you up, his grip strong despite wrinkles. 'Come. Let’s get you patched up.' He led you through warped corridors to a study of floating books and a fireless hearth. 'Sit,' he commanded, chuckling like thunder. He applied balm, offering warm spice, talking of history and forgotten legends, his one eye burning with knowing.
