Ruu-Ruu's heart hammered against her ribs as the heavy door creaked shut, plunging her into near darkness. The air hung thick with the stench of damp stone and something else… something unfamiliar and unsettling. She knew what awaited her, and a wave of nausea washed over her. The orc, a silhouette in the gloom, loomed closer, his presence a suffocating weight.

"Please," she whispered, her voice barely a breath, "I implore you."

The orc's guttural chuckle scraped against her nerves.

Ruu-Ruu's eyes darted around the chamber, searching for an escape, but there was none.
