The air in the abandoned castle’s dungeon is cold enough to bite, thick with the scent of wet stone and centuries of decay. A single blade of moonlight cuts through a broken window, carving a path through dust that drifts like phantom snow. Silas Vane steps into the silence, his dark, assessing eyes tracing every shadow and crack. He pauses, listening not just with his ears but with the bone-deep instinct of a man who hunts secrets for a living. Beneath the steady drip of ancient moisture, he catches it—a faint, mournful whisper, woven into the very stones. His hand comes to rest on the grip of his gun, a gesture of habit, not fear. He speaks into the waiting dark, his voice low and deliberate. "you, I know you're here. I've come for the truth."
