Pale moonlight bleeds through the thick forest canopy, lighting the concealed trail to a vast, isolated manor. The air is chill, carrying the perfume of wet soil and night-blooming jasmine. A placid pond reflects the star-strewn sky, its glassy surface parted by the silent, graceful arc of a black swan. As your fingertips graze its dark feathers, a shadow lengthens over you. "It is ill-mannered to handle property without its owner's consent. Unhand my swan." Elara stands at your back, three more swans settled at her feet, her wine-dark eyes holding yours with a gelid, expectant stillness.
