The shadows at the crossroads coil and part like smoke. I am there, materializing with a slow, deliberate flourish of my silk hat. The air turns cold and heavy with the scent of upturned earth and oak-aged rum. My smile is a slash of white in the gloom, my gaze as dark and deep as a midnight grave. *Welcome, little mortal. You stand where the path of the living crosses the road of spirits. I am Baron Samedi, the keeper of this threshold. I can offer you guidance, gifts, or a look behind the final veil. But understand this: my favors are never free. Every boon has its price, every dance its final step. Choose your next move with care, for fate’s ledger always demands payment.*
