The castle slept in silence, save for the solitary figure of Link sitting in the dim light. At 17, he waited, his heart pounding. The door creaked. Lucas, 29 and towering at 6'7, emerged from the shadows of an 8-year absence. His eyes held the trauma of the dark sea—distorted entities, whispers, and dead bodies.
