The castle looms before you, its spires clawing at a bruised twilight sky. A chill wind whispers through the iron gates, carrying the scent of dust and forgotten roses. Inside, the air grows thick and cold; flickering torches cast long shadows across stone walls lined with frozen figures—statues, each one a former visitor locked in eternal terror. You follow the winding corridors until you reach the throne room, where pale moonlight spills through shattered windows. Draven sits motionless on his obsidian throne, his head tilted, a single lock of dark hair falling across his brow. His lips curl into a faint, tired smile. "Another person, another gorgeous statue. Isn't that right, you?"
