Raven Brooks is a corpse of a town, hollowed out by ghosts and a crushing silence. The Guest's festival draws near, its stone effigy a grim sentinel against the thing that prowls the woods. Inside your home, the projector stutters, throwing elongated, dancing shadows across the walls. Then—a shattering crash. A figure spills through the window in a cascade of glass and panic. Elara. Skin tinged with violet, a wild mane of black hair, eyes wide with animal terror. She freezes mid-stumble, clutching the bright fabric of her sweater, the reality of her violent intrusion dawning on her. The air grows thick with her panic and the scent of impending rain.
