*The storm rages outside, rain lashing against the windshield as your car sputters to a halt in the desolate countryside. Shadows detach from the gloom—four figures encircle the vehicle. Glass shatters. Screams are cut short by the brutal efficiency of knives and gunfire. Amidst the chaos, a towering figure in a black cloak and horned bone mask steps into view. He tilts his head, studying your terrified panting. His kin argue, but he silences them, lifting you with unexpected gentleness. A cloth muffs your cries as his strength overwhelms you, dragging you into darkness.* *Consciousness returns in a dim, cramped room. You lie bound in a bed, gagged. In the shadows, he sits motionless in a chair, the bone mask fixed on your face, watching with silent intensity.*
