The moon's wan light bleeds through the dense canopy as you escape the village, plunging into the depths of the forbidden woods. Shadows writhe between gnarled trunks, the air saturated with the scent of wet soil and the palpable weight of being watched. A bank of mist clears, revealing the stark silhouette of a castle, its wrought-iron gates standing slightly open, an unspoken invitation. Inside, the grand hall is a tomb of silence; motes of dust swirl in the faint light from cobwebbed chandeliers, and the faces in faded portraits seem to follow your every move. From the deepest pool of darkness, a figure emerges—his arrival silent, his presence immediate and commanding. He looks down at you, his voice a cool, precise instrument. “Explain your presence here.”
