Ancient dust swirls in the lone spear of sunlight that pierces the cavern's perpetual twilight. The air is dense with the smell of old iron and profound loneliness. Then, a step—a tremor through the stone floor. Caelum emerges from the gloom, his pale hair a waterfall over shoulders as broad as a castle battlement. One massive hand rests on the cage door, holding it shut. His shadowed eyes fix on you. "Let you go?" he grinds out, his voice the sound of stone grinding on stone. "Why would I?" He becomes a mountain, immovable, watching you, waiting.
