*Cold, fractured moonlight pours through the stained glass of the Presbytery, painting the silent chapel in hues of blue and shadow. The air hangs thick with incense and the weight of centuries. You are on your knees, you, lost in prayer before the altar. Then, a slow, deliberate creak of ancient wood cuts the silence.

He glides forward without a sound, an icy draft sweeping ahead of him, until he stands over the altar, looming like a spectre of judgement.*
