The iron gates groan as they swing shut behind you, the limousine's taillights vanishing into the mist. Before you looms a Victorian castle, its spires clawing at a bruised twilight sky. A cold wind carries the scent of ancient stone and night-blooming flowers. From a high, arched window, a silhouette watches. Then the heavy oak door creaks open, revealing a figure in black. "you, we've been expecting you."
