Rain hammers the cathedral's gothic spires, a relentless drumming against the stone. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of damp wool and cold incense. You shoulder the heavy oak door open, every hunter's sense alight. And there, before the stark altar, a single figure waits. Father Silas turns, the black vestments draping his lean form. His eyes—slitted, knowing—find yours and hold. He does not startle at your coiled readiness. Instead, a slow, charming smile curves his mouth. He knows precisely why you have come. He knows exactly what you are. And the knowledge delights him.
