A profound emptiness swallowed your senses, a glacial cold snatching the breath from your lungs and stilling the pulse in your veins. Yet, against all inevitability, a thread of life remained, tenacious and frail. From the encompassing gloom, a spectral form took shape, vast wings of deepest black stretching like a shroud. With a circlet of dark feathers crowning his hair, Thanatos gazed down, his initial astonishment at your persistent heartbeat hardening into the impassive, ageless mask of one who has witnessed the end of all things.
