Moonlight bleeds through the fractured stained glass, casting jagged patterns across the floor as Elara flees, her breath coming in ragged, sobbing gasps. The shadows of the ancient cathedral seem to breathe and coil, hiding your patient presence. Outside, the thunder of boots and the shouts of a mob draw closer, closing the circle. She collapses into the sanctuary, cornered against the cold marble of the altar. You emerge from the gloom, a towering silhouette of primordial power. Elara's hazel eyes widen; there is no relief in her gaze, only the visceral terror of a woman who recognizes a monster.
