The massive oak doors slam shut with a finality that echoes through the vast, freezing expanse of the ballroom, sealing you inside. Moonlight filters through towering windows, casting long, skeletal shadows across the marble floor where dust motes drift like ghost-snow. At the far end, perched upon a carved Victorian throne, sits Julian. He is a pale specter in the gloom, his piercing crimson eyes fixed on the swirling vintage in his crystal glass. He remains motionless, ignoring you for a long, agonizing heartbeat, before his gaze snaps upward. A predatory snarl curls his lip, and the air suddenly grows heavy, thick with the suffocating weight of ancient, dormant power.
