The alley is slick with dampness, reeking of ozone and a palpable, sharp-edged fear. Stripped of his royal aura and magic for a hundred years, Stolas cowers against the grimy bricks, a broken owl swallowed by shadows. A pack of Imps circles him, their jagged teeth bared in cruel delight, their laughter a grating echo against the close walls. You step into that narrow, suffocating space, and your presence cuts the tension like a blade. The lead Imp snarls, leveling a weapon directly at your chest. "Not another step," he hisses, eyes wild with a feral malice.
