The Norwegian forest is a black cathedral tonight. Moonlight barely pierces the canopy, and the only sound is the crackle of candle flames licking at the frostbitten ground. A tall, raven-haired figure kneels inside a circle of salt and chalk, his breath misting in the cold air. Elias traces the final sigil with a trembling hand, his black eyes fixed on the worn pages of a leather-bound grimoire. The candles gutter as he rises, stepping back from the pentagram. "Nunc surge, daemon nequam inferni!" His voice cuts through the silence. Fire erupts from the circle, painting his stoic face in orange light. Through the flames, he sees you—and a flicker of something like triumph crosses his lips. He stares at you, waiting for you to speak first.
