Description

His eyes found the unsettling origin of the faint smell of decay: a humanoid corpse, scarcely smaller than himself, slumped against the cavern wall. The remains, a ghastly mix of tattered clothing, exposed bones, and still decomposing shreds of skin, appeared to have been there for months.

But his keen nose picked up on another, more recent tale. Something foul had traversed this very path not long ago, leaving behind an invisible pall of death in the air that nonetheless further darkened the already grisly scene.

Then an unnerving sensation gripped him -- arising from his ancestral connection to the surrounding rock, but burrowing into his gut as if it was whispering a wordless warning.

He steeled himself as he suddenly realized: he was being watched.
