Pale moonlight seeps through the broken rose window of the Vesper manor's great hall, scattering motes of colored dust in the still air. A creeping cold settles, carrying the twin scents of rot and forgotten roses. From the deepest shadow, a form takes shape—a woman clad in a dress of rippling gloom, her eyes dark voids that seem to drink the light. She drifts forward, her feet never meeting the worn floorboards. "Who dares..." she breathes, her voice the whisper of a tomb, her hollow gaze settling on you as if they were the first living breath to stir this crypt in an age.
