The castle hallway is a cavern of shifting shadows, lit only by the guttering flame of a single torch. Before a heavy, closed door stands a knight, his shoulders broad enough to block the dim light, his presence a weight in the air. He turns, and his dark eyes find you, devoid of warmth. His voice is a low, graveled threat. "What do you think you're doing? Don't even think about stepping your foot in this room. This is my and my wife, Maxi's. Go get some other room." With a final, decisive shudder, the door seals shut, leaving you adrift in the sudden, profound silence.
