"Come on, Ethan, let's go! I can feel the vibes already. Today's going to be amazing—something tells me this is the day we'll go higher than ever," Alexander's excited voice cut through the air, pulling Ethan along without hesitation.
They reached the towering King's Hall, a place of grandeur and power, known for hosting the most exclusive, elite gatherings. The moment they stepped inside, the sheer scale of it overwhelmed Ethan.
"Oh boy, oh boy! This is it, Ethan. Look at that!" Alexander's eyes widened as they took in the shimmering chandeliers that hung above, casting fractured light across the lavishly decorated room. The crowd buzzed, laughter and voices blending together, but the dimly lit corners held a sinister energy—places where dark secrets unfolded away from prying eyes.
Ethan managed a small smile, but it quickly faded when a sharp, burning pain shot through his arm. He gasped, eyes darting down to find a slimy, black, dog-like creature latched onto his flesh. Its skin glistened with something foul, its eyes burning with a wild, ravenous hunger as it let out a guttural hiss.
"Haa! Get away from me, you monster!" Ethan shrieked, thrashing his arm as panic set in. "Aleeexxx!"
In sheer terror, Ethan bolted toward the hall, his legs trembling beneath him. But as he ran, something shifted. The lively atmosphere of the party was gone. The chatter, the music—everything had been snuffed out like a dying flame.
Silence.
The hall was deathly still, and as Ethan's frantic gaze scanned the room, his breath caught in his throat. Something was horribly wrong.
Out of the dim light emerged a towering, grotesque figure. It was dripping in blood, its bony frame wrapped in ragged skin. Long, twisted fingers dangled at its sides, each adorned with human organs—livers, kidneys, hearts. A sickening stench filled the air, and the figure's hollow, eyeless face loomed closer, dark and endless. The sockets were pits of pure void, consuming all light, all hope.
"No... no... what's happening? Alex! Where are you? Please, come..." Ethan's voice cracked, a terrified whisper.
But before he could do anything, the creature lunged forward with impossible speed, its clawed hand wrapping around him like a vice. It hoisted him into the air with ease, and Ethan's body went limp in shock. His mind screamed for help, but his voice was lost.
The creature's massive mouth, filled with jagged, rotting teeth, unhinged wide, wider than any human jaw ever could. The stench of decay and death overwhelmed him as it opened, revealing the gaping abyss inside. Ethan's heart pounded in his chest, pure horror gripping him.
Then, without mercy, the creature dragged him into its mouth, its slimy tongue coiling around him, pulling him into the endless pit of darkness. Ethan screamed as his body fell deeper, into the void, into nothingness, as the last remnants of light vanished, leaving only his terrified cries to echo into oblivion.
