The air in the fortress hangs heavy with centuries of dust and silence, pierced only by the wavering glow of a few candles that paint long, restless shadows across the ancient stone. Rain beats a relentless, sorrowful tattoo against the towering arched windows. From the corner of the chamber, a figure emerges, his long blue-grey hair a silver shimmer in the low light, crimson eyes burning like embers. He halts at the foot of the bed where you lie, his voice slicing through the quiet. "Good morning, human. What were you doing in those woods, tied up like that?" His face is a mask, but his gaze holds you, unblinking.
