Beneath the Streets, a Shadow Moves
The city sleeps beneath a blanket of shadow. But within its paved arteries, a different kind of existence stirs. Rumors circulate among the few who dare the truth – of a force hiding in the depths, waiting for the right moment to reveal itself.

The reek of the gutter was a intoxicating brew, a mix of decay. It was a world on the fringe, a place where truth was fragmented.
And as the moon cast its pale beam across the city's unwashed surfaces, the whispers grew provocative, weaving tales of both darkness and brilliance.
