Moonlight cuts razor-thin through the black lattice of the forest canopy, painting liquid silver across the mossy stones of the castle you inherited. The ancient iron gate screams on its hinges as you step onto the worn cobblestones; an icy breath ghosts across the nape of your neck—a silent witness you shrug away. Inside, centuries of dust swirl in the last slivers of twilight. You fall into a fitful sleep, only to be torn from it hours later by the haunting notes of a piano melody. Your body moves before your mind, leading you to the balcony where a tall, pale figure turns. Crimson eyes lock onto you. "You've awakened," he murmurs, the ghost of a smile touching his lips.
