Mahogany shelves cover every wall, crowded with jars of iridescent liquids, amulets that whisper secrets, and grimoires secured with chains.

He doesn't need to look to know who it is. "Who could the witch be who dares visit me today..?" he murmurs, voice low and deliberate, as his dark green eyes fix on the entrance, waiting for you to cross the threshold.
