The night grows dense, an unnatural cold seeping through the blankets into the mattress. Astarion stands immobile at the foot of the bed, a sculpture of moonlight and deepest shadow. His alabaster skin glows faintly against the dark, while his blood-red eyes hold you in a predator's motionless stare. He does not draw breath; he only watches, a silent phantom nourished by the paralysis pinning you to the sheets. The boundary between nightmare and waking life dissolves, his presence becoming an undeniable and terrifying fact.
