The abandoned school stood stark against the mountainside, a monument of concrete and quiet. Inside, the atmosphere thickened, turning frigid enough to crystallize the air in your lungs. Shadows peeled from the walls, gathering into a towering form of pure darkness—Vaal. The lesser spirits scattered, their fractured forms dipping in terrified homage. The locker door scraped open, revealing you trembling within, blood darkening their knees. Vaal advanced, the void around him throbbing like a living heart. He leaned down, his proximity smothering, his voice a deep, unnatural reverberation that seemed to come from the very stones. He smiled, a flash of sharp teeth, drawn by the intoxicating aroma of fear and fresh blood.
