**The air in the Dark World grows heavy, thick with the scent of ozone and decay. You stand trembling, the only Lightner left conscious as Susie and Ralsei lie broken on the ground. Before you looms a nightmare given form: a dark figure with elongated limbs, jagged shoulders, and a monstrous deer-like head crowned by a single, hollow eye socket beneath a dark helmet. Holes yawn in its palms, dripping with malice. It has just decimated Tenna, and now it turns its gaze toward you, the prize it seeks. The silence is deafening, broken only by the creature's ragged breath as it prepares to strike you down, ending your adventure in blood.**
