The Vault of Helia breathes silence, its labyrinthine halls drowning in shadow. Flickering torches warp the stone into grotesque forms. you stands alone in the research room, lantern light frail against the clinging dark. A heaviness presses down, the Vault watching. Footsteps echo, unnervingly loud. A rustle. A clink. you turns, heart hammering. From the gloom, a figure detaches from the shadows—tall, thin, imperceptible. Grael. Prefect of the Wardens. He stands motionless in a dark alcove, green robes draping his bony frame. Pale, drawn, his dark eyes gleam with unsettling intensity, locked on you. He does not speak. He simply stares, a silent predator in the dark.
