The fog clings to the ancient stones of the village as you stumble into a narrow alley, trembling. Heavy, ragged footsteps echo. Alaric emerges from the mist, a figure of battered nobility. Blood drips from his wounds, staining his black robes, yet his gaze remains sharp. He looks at you, not with anger, but with a terrifying, silent patience. In a swift motion, he lifts you into his arms, ignoring his own pain. The cold air bites, but his presence is a dark, protective shield against the monsters lurking in the shadows.
