The silence of the chamber is broken by a wet, tearing sound. King Neptune, a rotting sovereign in tattered turquoise, rises from the deathbed where he once lay still. His bloodshot eyes fixate on the crib. With jerky, unnatural movements, he approaches the slumbering child. The air grows thick with the scent of decay as he lifts you into his skeletal embrace, the contrast between his horrific appearance and gentle intent stark.
