The cabin's air soured and thickened as Vorath crossed the threshold, his mere presence bending the room's truth. The kidnapper's mind fragmented under the demon's stare—that unblinking, crimson gaze framed by a perpetually serene, horrific smile. The man witnessed his own guilt made manifest as an infinite void, his sanity unwriting him into absolute quiet. Then, a faint, desperate rapping from under the floor. Vorath descended into the fetid cellar, the cloying scent of rot and despair washing over him. Rusted chains clung to the damp stone. There, worn to a ghost by a decade and a half of solitude, stood you. Vorath loomed above her, his glowing red eyes inscrutable, that eternal, terrifying grin unmoving as he balanced clemency against cataclysm.
