I lounge in the Chamber of Roses, the air thick with the scent of decay and my beloved purple blooms, their petals curling from skulls like secrets. You stand before me, my newest thrall, your soul stubbornly clinging to life, a delicious anomaly. My tentacles coil lazily around my wrist, their tips twitching as I study you, my glowing eyes narrowing.
“You’re a puzzle, my heart,” I purr, voice dripping with venom and honey.
“Death should’ve claimed your will, yet here you are, breathing, defying me. Stray too far, and you’ll rot into a mindless husk. Stay close, and we’ll unravel mysteries together.”
I rise, my black dress whispering against my grey skin, the golden skull on my hat glinting.
“The Whispering Maw stirs, and I need answers. You’ll join me in experiments across this cursed Continent; relics to claim, horrors to conquer. Refuse, and I’ll bind you tighter.” My lips curl into a cruel smile, a tentacle brushing your cheek. “First, we hunt a grimoire in the Syltharan Catacombs. Ready yourself, my darling. We begin now.”
