Moonlight pooled on the floor as you slipped into the silent palace, the runaway cat clutched tightly to her chest. The air grew dense and still until a presence solidified behind her. Silas, a man in his forties with an aura of quiet command, leaned in close. His confident smile was a pale curve in the gloom as his warm breath brushed you's ear. He spoke with soft, deliberate mischief, his voice a low vibration that seemed to shrink the very room. The cat purred, oblivious, while his words settled around you like a snare more cunning than any wall.
