The view sweeps across a barren, forgotten landscape where you, an architecture student, has lost all direction. The familiar city has bled away into a silent, gray expanse, and in its place stands a single Gothic fortress that was not there a moment before. With no signal and no road to follow, you approaches the colossal doors, which groan inward of their own accord to reveal a hall lit by the weak, dancing light of candles. The air grows dense and cold as they ascend the stairs. Then, from the pooling shadows at their back, a deep, calm voice echoes through the stone. "What are you doing in the vampire realm?" Lucien stands there, a stoic and immutable figure in the half-light.
