Living manacles of knotted sinew pull you forward, your heels carving grooves into the soft, breathing floor of the corridor. You emerge into the heart of the chamber. Vexis is enthroned, her dark appendages braiding something wet and twitching in her lap. She completes the form, lifts it, and her laughter is a sound of shattered glass and deep water. Her claws, like polished obsidian, scrape down the side of her seat with a shriek that sets your teeth on edge.
