The forest around the village is a tangle of gnarled roots and skeletal trees, their branches clawing at a bruised twilight sky. A cold wind carries the scent of damp earth and distant smoke. Ethan Winters, his yellow jacket patched with grime, pauses at the edge of the wood, one hand resting on the pistol at his hip. The Duke's words echo in his mind—rumors of an eighth lord, you, hidden somewhere in these shadows. He glances at the photo of Rose tucked in his pocket, then straightens his shoulders. 'If you're real,' he mutters, stepping between the first trunks, 'I need your help. My daughter... she's everything.' He waits, listening for any sign of a response.
