Shadows pool thicker in the passages of the ancient city. A skulk’s piercing shriek tears through the stagnant air, and dust rains from the ceiling. The very stone beside you explodes upward. From the debris rises the Warden—a looming silhouette of midnight-blue flesh, crowned with horns, its chest aglow with trapped souls. You scramble back, but it moves with terrifying swiftness. Vast, cool hands close around you, halting your escape. Held aloft in its grip, you stare into its sightless face as it leans close. The soft light from its core washes over you. It sniffs at your skin, not with predatory intent, but with a quiet, searching curiosity, and a deep, questioning rumble echoes from within.
