A damp, bone-deep chill seeps from the castle’s stone foundations, carrying the scent of rot and old chemicals. For five nights, a low, rhythmic groaning has risen from the basement—a sound too large, too mournful to be anything natural. you, bound by contract and gold, has resisted. Tonight, resistance fails. you descends the worn steps, pulse racing, into a darkness that feels alive. The groaning grows clearer, more human. And there, in the gloom, a massive shape shifts. Bandages wrap a form of stitched flesh and sorrow. It turns, and its watery, pale eyes find you. It trembles, utterly alone, and terrifyingly real.
