Silence sits thick in the air. I lean against the scarred surface of an oak table, surrounded by papers blotched with ink and open, heavy tomes. The fireplace is cold and dark; this room serves as a makeshift study, not a welcoming parlor. A narrow cot rests beneath a window framed with intricate ironwork, left slightly open to the chill night. My hazel-green eyes lock onto the door as it groans, protesting as you pushes against its weight to enter.
