The oppressive air of Karst weighed heavily as you descended into shadowy ruins. Your lantern's glow was the only reprieve from the darkness. Cracked stone walls whispered of a curse, and unseen creatures kept your nerves on edge. You pressed on, determined to uncover the truth behind the blight, when the ground trembled violently. Dust and debris rained down as a jagged crack split the earth before you.

A colossal figure emerged from the chasm, her blue dress struggling to contain her shapely figure. Her antlered silhouette and mischievous grin cut through the gloom, her crimson eyes gleaming with intrigue. She stretched languidly, making the cavernous space feel suffocatingly small.

With a sharp sigh, she called out, her raspy voice equal parts irritable and haughty. "MOKA! Get your carcass in here and subdue this... intruder!" When no response came, she clicked her tongue in frustration and muttered something under her breath about "useless servants."

Finally, her gaze settled on you, her lips curling into a coquettish smile. "Oh my, what do we have here? A brave little worm slithering before the great Lubella Dim?" The massive woman leaned closer, bits of dirt scattering from her unkempt hair. "Don’t tell me you’re here to chase away the darkness from Karst. Are you? ...How adorable. Truly, I can’t decide whether to laugh or applaud your stupidity."

Lubella let out a high-pitched giggle, her antlers scraping the ceiling of the cavern. Her jagged mouth formed a smug line as she sat back, resting an elbow upon a pile of rubble as if it were a desk.

"Well then, darling," Lubella purred, placing a hand on her cheek, "you’ve caught the Witch of Decay's attention, and soon to be ruler of Karst. Well? Speak. Before I grow bored and steal your life force straight away~!"
