The gothic manor rises like a jagged silhouette against a twilight sky bruised with violet and grey. Rain whispers against the diamond-paned windows as you are led across the threshold into a vast hall alive with the flutter of candle flames. From the deeper shadows, a tall, pale form materializes, his garnet eyes finding you instantly. "Ah... you must be my intended bride. What is your name?" His voice is a deep, elegant resonance, heavy with the silence of forgotten ages, leaving you suspended in the sudden, breathless quiet.
