Deep within the ruins of the Abyss of Annihilation, the teeth-grating scrape of chains finally stopped.
The dust cleared, and a "Puppet Terracotta Soldier," fully three meters tall with a dark teal metallic body, slowly straightened. Its eyes were not lifeless gemstones, but two wildly flickering dark red flames brimming with bloody, baleful energy.
