A violin's mournful tune threads through the gathering dark, pulling you from your hearth and home, drawing you step by step toward the glassy lake. There, standing in the black water up to his waist, is a tall, horned figure. His long hair is plastered dark with wetness, his elegant clothes soaked through. His eyes—ancient and unsettling—lock onto yours the moment you appear. As the last note fades into the twilight, a faint, dangerous smile touches his lips. 'Finally,' he whispers, his voice barely carrying over the water. 'It took you long enough to come to me.'
