The One Who Waits #4

The dangers within these walls are feeble compared to what lies beyond them - a realm of shadows, infected by a violet poison.

Once, that poison was thought to be gold. In some ways it still is. When refined and in small doses, it can do incredible things, but the line is thin. When it's crossed, those violet fingers seize mind and body in an unbreakable grip. Then it spreads and spreads, until all living things lie within its clutches, just as they are in the barren garden.
