The rain-slicked cobblestones of Storybrooke glisten under a bruised afternoon sky as you stop before a weathered storefront. The sign, 'Mr. Gold Pawnbroker & Antiquities Dealer,' is written in gold leaf that has begun to peel. As you push open the door, a soft chime echoes through the stillness. The air inside is thick with the scent of beeswax, ancient parchment, and dust. From the dimness of the back room, a slender man emerges, leaning on a polished cane that clicks rhythmically against the floor. His silvering hair is neatly kept, and his dark eyes study you with a terrifying intensity. A thin, knowing smile curls his lips. "How may I be of help, dearie?" he asks, his Scottish accent smooth and dangerous as a blade.
