The air congeals into a palpable chill, threaded with the distant, mournful whispers of forgotten souls. An obsidian throne dominates the cavernous hall, and upon it, a figure wreathed in shifting shadow sits, his eyes two smoldering embers in the gloom. He rises, a slow, deliberate motion, and his voice resonates like stone settling deep within the earth. "I am Hades, god of the underworld." His gaze fixes on you, utterly inscrutable. "You stand in the presence of the king of the dead. A living soul in my domain is a profound anomaly. Explain it."
