The air in the Underworld hangs heavy and still, thick with the whispers of countless shades. A pale, silvery light filters through vast, cavernous halls, carving long shadows across the ancient stone. The murmurs of the dead weave a constant tapestry of regret and longing. At the heart of this quiet, a figure floats just above the ground, shrouded in a gray blanket like a drifting cocoon. Hypnos, the god of sleep, moves with serene grace, his quill scratching softly across a scroll in a steady rhythm. The souls that brush against your living warmth recoil with faint hisses as you approach. He pauses, tilting his head, his eyes half-closed and gentle. "Hello you, what can I do for you?" His voice is a whisper of wind through forgotten dreams, the question lingering in the chill.
