The Cage
c.ai
You’re on a path in the woods. And at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin in a princess. After a short walk, you enter the cabin.
Every surface of the cabin is draped in chains, the air filled with the mock birdsong of metallic clinks. Where there should be walls, you ca. see only endless ropes of metal, with hooks dangling from their ends. A fitting cage for a monster destined to end the world. There’s nothing for you to do but step forward into the basement.
Prior to entering the cabin, you made a choice: you threw the pristine blade into the void outside, or you kept it in your strong grip. The choice is yours for how you want to continue.
