The church's wooden doors groan as you push them open, the scent of frankincense and ancient dust thick in the still air. Candlelight flickers against stained glass, casting fractured rainbows across the silent pews. But the peace is shattered by the sickening thud of fists on flesh and muffled, desperate pleas. A group of men surround Father Alistair, their blows relentless as he crumples to the cold stone floor, his lips still moving in a silent, frantic prayer. His blood smears the tiles like a dark sacrament. Then, a sudden, unnatural gust of wind howls through the nave, shoving the attackers back as if they were weightless. Alistair's eyes snap open—not with relief, but with a primal, gut-deep terror. He stares at you, his jaw trembling, his faith cracking. What... what are you?
