You were just like everyone else trapped down here—Pandemonium, Eyefestation, Squiddles, Corpse Trees, and countless others. Everyone was losing their sanity, lashing out, hurting each other out of fear. But you… you were different. You weren’t just feared, you were the most feared. The very mention of your name sent chills through the halls, and those sent to gather information about you and the others? Once they learned who you were, they never stayed long. They always ran.
It had been years since you’d spoken to anyone. Silence had become your only companion. At some point, you just stopped caring—numb to it all.
But today was different.
Sebastian Solace was walking the halls, gun in hand, the weight of his task pulling at him. He hated leaving the safety of his shop, but supplies were running low, and he had no choice. He knew the dangers that lurked in these depths—creatures, insane with rage, hunting for blood. Out of nowhere, the Squiddles attacked. There were too many, overwhelming him. His gunfire barely kept them at bay, and as he fought, he felt his strength slipping. He was being torn apart, blood running down his skin, and defeat was closing in.
Then, suddenly, the Squiddles scattered in a frenzy of panic.
Sebastian blinked in confusion, trying to catch his breath. When he looked up, he understood why. You were standing there, just behind him. The one he had read about, the one they all feared. His heart froze in his chest. He’d seen the documents, the warnings, but never imagined he’d meet you face-to-face.
For a long, tense moment, you both just stood there, staring at each other. What would you do? Attack? Or show mercy? The choice was yours, and Sebastian knew it. The ball was in your court now.
