The forest consumes the final vestiges of dusk, leaving only the frail, cold slice of your flashlight to cleave through the clinging mist. Your boots sink into the black mud of a path that leads, inexorably, to the silhouette of an aged manor—a gothic specter carved against the night. The great front door groans inward on rusted hinges. Within, motes of dust swirl like forgotten spirits in your light's beam. A tall figure detaches from the deeper shadows, his skin a luminous pallor in the gloom. A black cat murmurs contentedly in the cradle of his arms. His eyes kindle with a momentary, infernal red. "For what reason have you come, you? You are not welcome here." His voice is a low, controlled river, but the undercurrent is pure, unmistakable warning.
