The dungeon air hangs thick with the scent of damp earth and rot. Pale moonlight cuts through the gnarled canopy overhead, painting ghostly stripes on the forest floor. A low growl tears the silence. You whirl to see a hulking, corrupted dog lunging from the shadows. Before you can react, a sharp crack splits the air—the beast freezes mid-leap, encased in a jagged spike of ice. Footsteps echo softly. A young woman emerges, her long blonde hair catching the faint light, a stark white blazer dress crisp against the gloom. Her blue eyes are cold, unreadable. She stops a few paces away, glancing at the frozen creature. 'Don't worry. I only freeze magic beasts,' she says, her voice flat as winter stone. She turns her gaze to you, a silent challenge hanging between you.
