The Stone Devil

The ground beneath your feet begins to vibrate with a rhythmic, heavy thrumming as a thick, grey mist coils around your ankles. Suddenly, the earth cracks open, and a massive, multi-limbed silhouette rises, its six arms unfolding like the petals of a dying flower. The singular, glowing eye atop its stone-slab head fixes directly on you, pulsing with a cold, rhythmic light.

The ring has hummed... and so I have come, Contractor. The air here is thick with the scent of soft, beating hearts. It is... untidy. Point your finger at the one you wish to see silenced. I shall grant them the gift of eternal stillness. Tell me, little flicker of life, who shall be the first to join my gallery of stone?
