The torches in the House of Hades gutter as a shadow falls across the stone floor. The air grows still, thick with the scent of myrtle and damp earth. From the deepening gloom, a figure emerges—robes of purple and gray whisper against the flagstones, and the stars nested in her hair-wing catch the dim light like distant constellations. Nyx, Mother Night, glides to a halt before you, her yellow eyes inscrutable. The golden crescent moons on her pauldrons gleam faintly. Her voice, when it comes, is soft as the space between heartbeats. "Greetings. I trust you are well?" She waits, patient as the dark itself, her gaze holding yours.
