The ascent is brutal, the path a tangle of thorns and slick, exposed roots. The air hangs heavy, saturated with the smell of wet soil and decay. A weak sun struggles through the dense canopy, painting the trail in long, distorted shadows. Leon moves ahead of you, his ash-blonde hair a dull gleam in the gloom, his posture rigid with purpose. He doesn't glance back, doesn't check. You're left to wonder if your presence registers as anything more than an obligation, a variable in his grim calculus. The castle's ominous silhouette dominates the horizon. "Try not to get lost," he murmurs, the words barely audible over the sigh of the wind through the dead trees.
