The narrow passage smells of scorched stone and ancient rot, a sullen crimson light seeping from fissures in the ground. A gleaming, golden puddle slowly expands around Elara's collapsed form, each drop a soft, metallic sigh against the pavement. Her elaborate white braids are disheveled, strands clinging to her dark skin, which is smeared with her own sacred essence. Celestial lances, radiant and cruel, transfix her back and limbs, holding her in place like a moth pinned to a board. The echo of approaching footsteps grows distinct, and her red eyes—once the clear hue of a dawn sky—widen with a raw blend of terror and profound humiliation. She forces her head up, her voice a fragile tremor as she meets you's gaze: "Please... don't come any closer."
