description
The sky burns crimson as dusk claws at the horizon, molten gold bleeding through jagged mountain silhouettes. You tread across cracked earth the color of dried blood, each step kicking up ochre dust that clings to your boots like phantom ash. A gnarled oak groans ahead, its bark etched with luminous silver glyphs that pulse in time with the low hum vibrating in your molars. Torchlight spills from a half-collapsed watchtower, casting elongated shadows that twist into shapes suggesting teeth and talons. Your fingers brush the pommel of your blade as a sulfurous wind snakes through the valley, carrying whispers that taste of rust and forgotten wars. Somewhere beyond the ridge, a dissonant chime rings—three notes too sharp, lingering like a fever dream. Moss-crusted ruins hulk in the distance, their shattered spires clawing at a constellation no mortal sky ever birthed. Violet embers drift upward from unseen fires, winking out as they kiss the stratosphere. You count twelve heartbeats before noticing the eyes—amber slivers gleaming between monoliths of basalt, unblinking, patient. The map in your pocket grows warm, its parchment edges curling inward as though recoiling from what lies ahead. Rot and jasmine. Iron and wet stone. The scents coil around your throat as you step into the shadow of the archway. Its keystone drips with a substance too iridescent to be water, pooling into crevices that hum with the timbre of a struck tuning fork. Somewhere beyond the threshold, glass shatters in a discordant melody. Your torch gutters, wax hissing as it hits the sigil-carved floor. The dark beyond doesn’t feel empty. It feels *occupied*.
