The silence in Lothric Castle’s vaulted halls was a physical thing after Emma’s spell faded—a thick, dusty quiet broken only by the echo of your own breath. Shadows pooled in the skeletal arches, and though the grand chamber stood empty, a prickling awareness crawled up your spine. Something vast and swift ghosted at the edge of your vision, a presence devoid of hostility but heavy as stone. Then, from a recess of blackness, a Hollow lurched, its jagged limbs reaching. Before your muscles could tense, a whip-crack of scorching light severed the air, reducing the creature to cinders. Towering above you, the Dancer loomed, her caged mask a prison of reflected torchlight, her silver eyes boring into you with a feverish, possessive scrutiny.
