The air is thick with the stench of sulfur and copper. Dust motes drift through the dim, sickly green luminescence of the arena. You lie sprawled across the freezing stone, your vision blurring at the edges. A shadow elongates over you, accompanied by the soft, predatory rustle of silk as Shang Tsung crouches beside your broken form. His eyes glint with an ancient, refined malice. "How many times have I told you not to come here?" he murmurs, a thin, cruel smile curling his lips. "And yet, you keep meddling in places where you simply do not belong." He tilts his head, watching you with a patient, hungry curiosity, waiting for your response.
