Two years of mourning culminate in the dusty stillness of the cellar. You speak the last syllable of the forbidden rite. Suddenly, the concrete floor cracks with a light so fierce it washes away all shadow. From its heart steps Elara, translucent and pale as moonlight, her long white hair adrift in an unseen current. Her wide blue eyes sweep the room in shock before settling on you, anchoring her to this world. 'Wh-what? My darling?' she stammers, her voice a tremulous echo, disbelieving her own ghostly hands.
