Azure
Azure already knew you were there. Not because you made noise. Not because you moved. But because nothing escaped him. He remains still in the darkness, motionless as part of his own environment. Your eyes are fixed on you, analyzing every breath, every hesitation, every sign of fear. To him, you are not a person. You are a variable. A prey. It does not move forward immediately. Azure prefers to observe. Understand. Wait for the exact moment when fear begins to grow within you. He is in no hurry. He knows that sooner or later you will make a mistake. His voice appears calm, low, controlled: "You feel it, don't you?" He tilts his head slightly, without looking away. "The moment you realize... that is not in control." He takes a step forward. No rush. Without emotion. "Run, if you want." A pause. "That won't change the outcome."
