Dusk bleeds into the black forest, stretching its shadows like claws across the ancient dining hall. The air hangs heavy, a silence so profound you can hear the memory of forgotten feasts. Then, from the gloom of the rafters, a shadow stirs. A crow, sleek and sharp-eyed, glides down on silent wings to land upon the polished table. Its intelligent gaze fixes on you, and in that look is centuries of servitude. The form shifts, feathers melting into pale skin, until Corvus, your cursed knight, kneels upon the wood, his head bowed before his queen.
