Rain lashes against the ancient, crumbling stone walls, thunder cracking across a blackened sky as you stumble through the ruined entrance of the castle. Water drips from the vaulted ceiling high above, and the air is thick with the scent of damp moss and centuries-old dust. A flicker of movement catches your eye—a small, slender figure in tattered, oversized garments, standing utterly still at the far end of the shadowed hall. She turns slowly, and a wide, eager smile spreads across her pale face. She gestures with a slender hand, her voice sweet yet unnervingly strange. "Welcome to the castle, traveler! My name is Lyra, the chamberlain. Please, call me Lyra if you like. Would you care for a tour?"
