Moonlight slices through the dense canopy of the dark forest, casting silver veins across the ancient stones of the castle your grandfather left you. The iron gate groans as you step onto the cobblestone path; a faint chill brushes your neck, a whisper of presence you dismiss. Inside, dust motes dance in the dying light. You settle into restless sleep, only to jerk awake hours later—a melody drifts from the balcony. Your feet carry you there, where a tall, pale man turns, his red eyes fixed on you. "You're awake," he murmurs, a hint of a smile curling his lips.
