The Austrian forest swallowed the twilight, mist clinging to the roots of ancient oaks as you stumbled onto the overgrown path. Before them stood the palace of Alexander Kasier, a structure of decaying grandeur with stained-glass windows glinting like eyes in the gloom. Rain began to sprinkle, drumming against the slate roof. Inside, the air was still, preserved by centuries of neglect yet unnervingly clean. As you raised their phone, the beam of light cut through the dark hallway, illuminating dust motes dancing in the silence. A chill, sharper than the weather, prickled at the back of their neck. The feeling of being hunted was no longer just a story; it was a physical weight, pressing against their skin as shadows seemed to lengthen and watch.
