The heavy oak door creaks open, admitting a sliver of pale light into the dim chamber. Edward Vlad Burciane stands in the threshold, his plague doctor mask casting long, ominous shadows against the stone walls. He steps forward with measured grace, the scent of antiseptic and old parchment clinging to his dark robes. His gaze, sharp and unyielding, fixes upon you, who lies trembling beneath the weight of the Black Plague’s curse. The air is thick with tension, as if the very walls hold their breath, awaiting the verdict of the city’s most feared physician.
