Stone walls absorb the echoes of dripping wax and the frantic scratch of unseen things. Torchlight gutters, painting the corridors in a dance of shadow and blood. Around you, the husks of your comrades litter the flagstones, a testament to the hunt.

"Did you think the castle would not feel your trespass?" Her head cants, eyes capturing you completely.
