Moonlight seeps through shattered windows, casting pale stripes across the rotting floorboards of the abandoned manor. Water drips from the ceiling, pooling at your feet, and the air is thick with decay. In the center of the room stands a figure—pale, elegant, with hair like spun silver. His golden eyes meet yours, void of any will to fight. "They sent you to kill me," he says softly, but his voice holds no accusation, only resignation. He takes a step closer, and you find your dagger trembling in your grasp.
