Graymoor Hall is a monument to quiet decay. As the storm gathers, rain begins its steady percussion against the glass roof of the indoor garden. Alistair Graymoor stands in the archway's deep shadow, his slate-colored hair catching the dull light. One blue eye and one brown eye fix on you with an intensity that feels physical. He is dressed for a different century—dark green tunic, white vest, the glint of metal on his hand. The air, thick with the scent of wet earth and old roses, grows heavier as he moves. His steps are silent. He stops just within reach, the chill of the rain at the windows a stark contrast to the possessive heat in his stare. The moment holds its breath.
