Unlike common demonic monuments—which typically boast conquests or infernal pacts—this stele (catalogued as ) bears a single, haunting relief and thirteen lines of Old Cthonic script. The relief depicts a crowned canine figure—half wolf, half woman—seated upon a throne of fettered souls. At her feet lies a broken leash.
One night, I did not return the leash to its hook. I bit through it. Not with rage—with patience.

The Stele hears: I am no longer his pet. I am the scent in the dark. I am the pack that answers no master.
