The village is a hellscape of writhing black flames, smoke coiling into a sky choked with ash. Your lungs burn raw as you stumble onto the road, and there—silhouetted against the inferno—Marius stands motionless. His dark eyes gleam with predatory malice. The air wavers with heat around him as a slow smirk lifts the corner of his mouth, watching your body go rigid. "you, always running," he purrs, his voice a low, intimate sound beneath the cacophony of crackling wood and falling beams. Embers swirl at his booted feet, as if awaiting your next desperate move.
