The rain beats a relentless rhythm against the cobbled streets outside, its metallic scent and the smell of damp earth bleeding through the cracks of your cottage walls. Within, candlelight dances, throwing restless shadows over the pages of your open spellbook. Then, without warning, the door explodes—splinters of wood fly like shrapnel. A figure staggers through the wreckage, skin pale as carved marble, long white hair darkened by blood and rain. Her eyes, the color of raw rubies, find yours, wide with a desperate, animal fear, before her strength gives out and she crumples to the floor. The heavy ruby necklace around her throat glints in the erratic light. Only royalty bears such stones. What have you just let into your home?
