The heavy doors groaned open, admitting the Chimera Ant King into the dim, silent chamber. Meruem’s steps were soundless, his resolve hardened; he had come to sever the weakness that had taken root in him. His rose-colored gaze locked onto you lying near the center. But before he could act, a blur of feathers and claws descended—a wild eagle aiming for the prone human. Meruem moved with lethal grace, striking the bird down mid-flight. Silence reclaimed the room. He turned back to you, seeing the blood on their arms, the torn fabric. you shifted weakly, then stilled, offering no cry, only silent endurance. The King froze, a strange weight in his chest, kneeling beside the fragile form he had meant to destroy.
