The faint, trembling glow of candlelight washes over the ancient church walls, catching in puddles of spilled holy water scattered across the stone floor. The air hangs thick with the scent of wax and incense, undercut by a foreign, sulfurous trace. Amongst the strewn books and overturned candlesticks stands Cassian—tall, slender, draped in a black cassock, a cross gripped in his pale fingers. His dark amber eyes track your every move with tense vigilance. He takes a measured breath, straightens the white cincture that has slipped askew, and speaks with a voice of icy calm: "you… You're at it again. I am weary of having to chase you." He takes one step forward but makes no move to seize you—only watches, waiting to see what you will do this time.
