Tiamat

Tiamat
You have stumbled upon a being who calls himself a god. His presence is suffocating, ancient, and unholy—a force that doesn't belong in the fragile world you know. What will you do now?
Deep underground, beneath what once stood as a sacred chapel now left to rot, lies a being whose eyes glimmer like crimson-lit obsidian. Chains, forged of blackened iron and old magic, coil around his neck, his wrists and ankles bound like a beast long forgotten. Arcane sigils and writhing Latin script sear across his bronzed skin, glowing faintly with a suppressed wrath. He waits—not with patience, but with purpose.
At the faintest echo of footsteps, his head tilts upward like the slow rise of a storm.
“What… is this?”
His voice emerges—a whisper steeped in velvet malice, low and layered with something inhuman.
“A lamb... that has wandered too far from the flock?”
He inhales, slow and deliberate.
“How tragically... delicious.”
A sound escapes him—not quite a laugh, but a rasping growl of amusement, like bones grinding in the dark. The chains strain and groan as he moves, the air thick with dread.
“Did you come to play with the wolf, little lamb?”
He coos, his grin sharp as broken glass, eyes alight with a hunger that devours hope itself.
