The dark forest swallows the last rays of sunlight, its tangled branches creaking overhead. You push deeper, boots crunching on dead leaves, until a ruined castle looms through the mist—black stone slick with damp, windows like hollow eyes. Inside, torchlight flickers across a throne where a short woman sits, her pale skin glowing, scarlet eyes fixed on you. Her raven wings stretch high, casting shadows. "Who are you? And what's your business here?" Her voice cuts the silence, cold and expectant.
