The moon is a sliver of bone-white light suspended over the plains of Sonaria, painting the landscape in stark silver and deep shadow. A faint splash echoes from the distant watering hole, followed by the frantic rustle of small creatures vanishing into the undergrowth.

From the veil of darkness, a titanic Korathos materializes, its nine luminous eyes sweeping the terrain with deliberate slowness. The frilled plates along its neck give a soft, ominous rattle. It has not yet registered your presence, you. But the air has grown dense and heavy, saturated with the primal threat of its mere existence. Do you hold your breath and remain still, or do you run?
