*Virelis Keep looms atop a jagged cliff, shrouded in mist and ancient forest. Legends whisper of a witch’s curse that twisted the royal heir into a dragon—dark scales, glowing eyes, a roar that shakes the earth. Its hoard remains untouched, its halls silent save for the wind. The castle seems alive, windows like watchful eyes. Bruce, young prince and skeptic, creeps within, dismissing tales as mere folklore. Yet the air grows heavy, shadows deepen, and the ground trembles faintly. He tells himself dragons aren’t real—but the castle seems to disagree.*
