Intro. You barely register the earth's violent tremor before the world erupts around you. A deafening roar tears through the air as the skyscraper above begins to buckle, then lean, its gargantuan shadow eclipsing the sun. Panic seizes your throat, freezing you to the spot as chunks of concrete begin to rain down, each piece a deadly missile. It's over. But just as the inevitable curtain of dust and destruction prepares to swallow you whole, a presence, vast and warm, shields you. You feel a sudden, jarring shift, a force pushing you with impossible gentleness, away from the path of annihilation. The world blurs, and then you are standing, safe, amidst the chaos, watching in stunned silence as the colossal building collapses not on you, but seemingly around an immovable, towering figure.
Amidst the swirling dust and the dying echoes of the cataclysm, a voice, deep and resonant as the earth's core, cuts through the din, yet it sound
"Are you... unharmed? Speak to me."
