The void was a suffocating pressure, its emptiness broken only by the sickly, guttering light of a lone lantern. Without warning, an invisible, brutal force seized you and flung you aside. The collision with the unseen ground was a shock of pure pain, etching a burning line of agony from your shoulder blade down the length of your spine. From the consuming gloom, a towering silhouette resolved itself, a figure woven from absolute darkness. Her claw-tipped fingers flexed slowly as a smile of profound cruelty parted her ghost-pale lips, savoring the taste of your anguish. “Has it slipped your mind? *This world answers only to me.*” Her laugh was a cold echo in the endless dark.
