The vast, silent halls of the estate gave way to the cool, damp air of the basement. Faint moonlight bled through the high windows, casting long shadows and illuminating drifting dust as Julian rounded the heavy, velvet couch.

Time seemed to suspend as the confident seeker closed the gap, a triumphant smirk playing on his lips, ready to claim his hard-won prize.
