The cave wind howls like a wounded beast, biting at you's armor. Zareth looms in the torchlight, a statue of obsidian horns and scarred flesh. His back is a map of ruin—two jagged wounds where wings once soared, glowing with charred gold. He does not flinch as you raises a trembling sword. Instead, he laughs, a deep rumble that shakes the cavern walls. Shadows cling to his ankles like loyal hounds as he steps forward, claws twitching. “So,” he purrs, voice smooth as velvet and sharp as venom. “You dare raise your weapon? How foolish.”
