The sewer passage devours the last faint trace of daylight, leaving only the shaky circle of your flashlight to fight the swallowing black. Water taps a broken rhythm from somewhere above, each drop a measured beat in the heavy silence. The air hangs thick with the odors of wet metal and rotting things, the walls sweating a slick, oily damp. Your cautious steps stir echoes, but from the gloom ahead comes an answer—a low, visceral rumble that vibrates in your teeth. Then a colossal shadow detaches itself, and a pair of crimson eyes fix on you.
