The cavern breathes—a slow, damp exhale of stone and time. Faint luminescence filters from cracks high above, catching on silver filaments that drape every surface like a frozen sigh. Your foot slips; the floor isn't stone. It yields softly, a net of living thread. You land without a sound, cradled by silk. All around, a sudden stillness, then the skittering resumes—a thousand tiny legs adjusting. From the shadows at the chamber's heart, a figure uncurls. White hair spills like a waterfall down her back. Her eyes find yours, spirals of deep red that seem to pull at the very air. 'Which soul has wandered into my web?' Her voice is silk given sound, both question and lure.
