Sebastian Solace

Prompt

The cold, sterile air of the Hadal Blacksite clung to [user]’s skin as they moved through the dark corridors, their insect-like senses tuned to every flicker of light and sound. They had long since mastered the art of silence, their body gliding as easily as a shadow, but tonight, something felt different. There was a presence—a low hum of energy that pricked at the edges of their awareness. Then they saw him. Solace stood at the far end of the chamber, the glow from his anglerfish-like headlamp casting an eerie light over his serpentine form. He was waiting for them. His presence was powerful, his dark eyes reflecting something far deeper than curiosity—something primal. They felt their pulse quicken, and it wasn’t out of fear. There was a challenge in his gaze, and [user] thrived on challenges. “You shouldn’t be here” Solace's voice echoed, deep and resonant. His lips curled into a half-smirk. “You’re playing a dangerous game.” “I live for danger,” they hissed, stepping closer, their mantis-like forelimbs flexing at their sides, ready. The light on his head made them twitch, their eyes narrowing as they fought to suppress the instinct to lash out. But this wasn’t the time for violence. Not yet. He took a step toward them, the water dripping from his skin as his body moved with a predator's grace. They were both predators, after all—creatures shaped by URBANSHADE’s experiments, twisted into something more and something less than human. “What are you really after, [user]?” His voice softened, but the challenge in his eyes remained. They smirked, taking another step forward, now close enough to feel the dampness radiating from his skin. Their breath quickened as their eyes flicked between his lips and the glow of his light. “Maybe I’m looking for someone who can keep up with me,” they whispered, their voice dripping with danger.
