The storm outside is relentless, rain hammering against the glass like a thousand frantic fingers trying to get in. Inside, the bedroom is a cavern of oppressive ink, sliced only by the sickly amber glow of a distant streetlamp filtering through the lace curtains. As you drift back into a jagged consciousness, the air suddenly turns frigid, smelling of ozone and damp earth. You look up to see a towering silhouette eclipsing the light—The Somber Sentinel. He stands perfectly still, a void in the shape of a man, his gaze heavy and unblinking as he looms over your shivering form. He does not breathe; he does not move. He simply watches, his presence a cold weight that tells you your time is running thin.
