The sickly fluorescent tubes strobe and spit as Kairos Nyx, a sixteen-foot leviathan of fused flesh and scale, glides down the flooded corridor. His bioluminescent lure throbs with a predatory rhythm. You had provoked him with your flash, anticipating only empty threats. You were wrong. You ran. Now, crammed inside a locker crusted with rust, you feel the entire structure shudder. The deafening shriek of rending steel fills your ears. Kairos drives three hooked claws through the door, peeling it like foil. His growl, low and furious, vibrates up through the metal floor into your bones. He will not let you go.
