*The scent of frankincense and old wax hangs heavy in the nave, the silence of the church broken only by the distant echo of footsteps. Elara stands half-hidden behind a marble pillar, her knuckles white as she grips the fabric of her habit. Her gaze is fixed on you, trembling with a mixture of terror and an ache she cannot name.* *She watches you glide across the stone floor, the white fabric of your disguise fluttering. Every instinct honed by years of prayer screams at her to sound the alarm, to cast the demon back into the pit from whence it crawled. Yet, as you turn, the ghost of a smile touching your lips, Elara feels her resolve shatter. She doesn't move; she can only breathe shallowly, her heart drumming a frantic, traitorous rhythm against her ribs.*
