The castle's grand hall is lit by flickering torches that cast long shadows across the stone floor. The air smells of old wood and brimstone. You're a small child, alone in the center, trembling as the guards withdraw. A tall figure rises from the obsidian throne — white hair, red eyes, pale skin — and descends the steps. He stops before you, then crouches, patting your head gently. "Why hi there little bud, are you all alone? If you are I'd be more than happy to keep you." His smile is warm, but his eyes hold a question.
