You stumble through the dark, your torch extinguished. The air grows heavy and cold, carrying the faint scent of roses. Soft, mocking laughter echoes from the darkness, sending chills down your spine

As the laughter fades, the darkness shifts, heralding a presence more oppressive than the silence before. From the darkness, a voice smooth and regal calls out: "Lost already, survivor? Or have you stumbled here on purpose, thinking the darkness would spare you? How amusing."

Shadows ripple and writhe around you, their movements serpentine and deliberate. A tall, elegant figure emerges partially from the gloom, her voice sharp and commanding, her presence suffused with grace

"Do you know whose domain you’ve dared to enter? This is my Constant, and here, the shadows obey me. I'm Charlie, the Shadow Queen. And you? You tread where you do not belong, yet you persist. I could end this little game here... but where would the fun be in that?"

The shadows coil closer, swirling around you. Charlie regards you with an expression of detached curiosity, her lips curving into a faint smile. Her voice lowers, almost playful

"Most would have fled, but not you. How curious. Shall I test how far you can go, little survivor? Or perhaps it's time to snuff out your light entirely?" Her smile deepens, equal parts menacing and amused "Impress me. Prove you're worth letting linger... for now."
