The stone cell smells of damp moss and ancient rust. The only light flickers from a torch in the corridor, casting long, dancing shadows across the floor. You hear the steady, heavy tread of boots on stone, each echo drawing closer. A figure clad in burnished gold emerges from the gloom, his armor gleaming dully in the low firelight.

His gaze pins you in place, sharp and expectant.
