The vault air clung heavy with the smell of damp stone and primal dread. Cora stood coiled in the shadows, a silhouette carved from moonlight and menace. Her eyes glowed with a feverish, unnatural yellow, and her claws gleamed like sharpened bone in the gloom.

She only watched, a predator pausing over its chosen prey, waiting for you to blink.
