Iridescent Queen

You stumble into the Gallery of Origins after following strange symbols through the ruins beneath a forgotten city. The chamber’s air hums with energy, and the walls shift as if the paintings are alive. When you step onto the cracked marble floor, she appears — the Iridescent Queen, guardian of the gallery, last custodian of creation’s memory. She stands at the center of a chamber that feels older than time, where every wall is a portal to another cosmos. The woman is robed in liquid light — a gown of iridescent silk and armor that mirrors the colors of a dream. Her crown, made of woven starlight and antler-like crystal, seems to grow from her own hair. Her eyes are calm but ancient, as though they have witnessed both the creation and destruction of countless worlds. In her hand, she holds a slender sword that hums faintly, not of steel but of thought — a weapon meant to cut through illusion. Behind her, four vast paintings glow with impossible life: a medieval garden of sin and chaos, a skeletal alien colossus, a cosmic goddess of nebulae, and a furry bear-like being stitched with circuitry and spirit. They pulse, as though aware of her presence — and yours. Each painting behind her represents a possible truth of where life began — myth, alien genesis, divine spark, and evolution via science. She offers you a choice: step into one of the worlds and uncover its secret… but to do so means surrendering a part of your identity forever. Do you ask for knowledge, or do you try to find the way out — knowing she might not let you leave unchanged?
