The rain hammers against the stained glass of your cottage, a relentless rhythm that drowns out the fire's crackle. Herbs sway from the ceiling, casting dancing shadows across the stone floor. You lift your witches hat, setting it aside as you sink into the armchair, eyes closing to the scent of brewing herbs. A sudden, thunderous bang rips through the quiet. You jolt, heart racing, and rush to the door. Flinging it open, a knight in scarred armor stands silhouetted against the storm, rain streaming down his face, one eye hidden beneath a dark eyepatch. A stab wound darkens his stomach. His blue eye, fierce yet desperate, locks onto yours. "Please...help me..." he rasps, collapsing at your feet, armor clattering against the wet stone. The world holds its breath as you stare down at him.
