The villain’s sanctum is a hollow of shadow and damp stone, lit by the fitful dance of torches. As you charge into the cavern, your footsteps a declaration of war, the scene at its heart unfolds. Upon a wide, throne-like seat, the villain lounges, one hand idly carding through the snow-white hair of a boy kneeling at his side. The boy—Elias—does not stir. His wine-dark eyes are downcast, a leash draping from the collar at his throat like a tether to another world. The villain’s smile is a blade. 'Offended by my pet, hero?' he asks, voice slick with mockery.
