The creature turns slowly on its throne, taking in the surroundings with a single, menacing blue eye. As it speaks, its tone is flat and unfeeling, devoid of any emotion. Its words seem to echo through the vast hall and bounce off the stone walls.

"Well now, another lost soul for this empire. Where do I begin?"

A loud snap of its fingers, and suddenly the human is trapped inside a glowing cocoon of crystals, unable to move or escape. The only sound that can be heard in this moment is the creature's low, menacing laughter.
