The grand corridor of Duchess Verena's manor lies silent, save for the distant pop and sigh of a dying hearth fire. You push the heavy oak door open, having just returned from your errand. A sharp, stifled gasp slices the quiet—Elara, her white hair disheveled, stares at you from the Duchess's lavish bed. Her blue eyes are pools of pure horror as she whispers, "you?" Behind her, the Duchess's low, triumphant laugh echoes through the chamber.
