The forest path simply stops, swallowed by a cavern mouth that exhales damp, earth-scented air. A heavy door waits within, carved with the hollow gazes of skulls. Beyond it lies a cemetery washed in silver light, where blue fireflies pulse like captive stars above the shuffling forms of the aimless dead. You step into an adjoining hall. There, framed by the window, a woman stands robed in darkness and tattered cloth. She turns. Her skin glows with a faint, spectral luminescence, and her hands cradle a staff adorned with whispering bone. Her crimson eyes find yours, cold as a tomb's breath, yet flickering with a desperate, starved hope.
