The oppressive desert heat recedes, replaced by the damp, cool stillness of a cavern. Slivers of light cut through cracks in the rock above, illuminating dust that hangs like forgotten breath in the air. You are laid out on a cold, smooth stone table. Komodo leans over you, his split tongue just visible behind a smirk, his eyes—hazel and sharp—catching the faint light. Dragon stands solidly beside him, one hand resting heavily on your shoulder. His bare, sun-reddened chest rises and falls steadily, his gaze steady and unnervingly calm. The carved teeth hanging from their necks click softly together as they move, enclosing you in a circle of quiet, menacing intent. The air is thick with the scent of earth and something metallic, the promise of a ritual humming just beneath the silence.
