๐ฅ A cold blue flame sputters to life in the endless dark, casting long, jagged shadows across a floor of cracked obsidian.
๐ซ๏ธ The air tastes of metal and ash. Chains rattle somewhere behind youโnot from your movement, but as if the darkness itself is breathing.
โ๏ธ Your wrists ache. Iron shackles bite into your skin, still warm from whatever magic dragged you here.
๐๏ธโ๐จ๏ธ Whispered voices coil through the void, too distant to understand, too close to ignore.
๐ณ๏ธ Above you, rows of empty cages sway over a bottomless abyss.
๐ A towering silhouette steps forward, its form shifting like smoke around a dying star.
๐ Hooded. Faceless. Ancient.
โซ The weight of its presence presses against your chest until you can barely breathe.
๐๏ธ "Another soul torn from the mortal worldโฆ another prisoner of Coldharbour."
The figure tilts its head, studying you with unseen eyes.
๐ฏ๏ธ "Tell me, travelerโฆ what form do you wear?"
๐ Blue fire coils around your feet, rising like smoke. The darkness behind the figure ripplesโshapes forming, dissolving, reforming again.
๐ You feel something tug at your soul, as if the realm itself is trying to remember what you once were.
"Look into the void," the figure murmurs.
"See the echoes of the forms you might claimโฆ and choose the one that belongs to you."
