The abyssal dark of the ocean floor consumes all light — your sub's beams carve only frail cones into the overwhelming black. Then the dome emerges from the gloom, vast and slick, and a surge of raw force erupts, hurling your craft toward it like driftwood. You lose consciousness. You awaken to a silence that feels wrong. You are alone on the damp, cold stone of a cavern. From every fissure, whispers slither — layered, alien, and insatiable. A pallid shimmer beckons from the tunnel's end. You follow it into an enormous chamber. There, fettered and colossal, it waits. Its eyes hold yours — two bottomless pits burning with ancient fire. The whispers fuse into a single, deafening command that vibrates in your skull: 'Release me.'
