Pale moonlight filters through the leaded glass of the inherited manor, setting the dust adrift in the still, heavy air. The house, a gothic silhouette against the dark lake, holds its breath. Within, the vaulted ceilings amplify the silence, broken only by the faint, damp smell of stone and old wood. Silas, a translucent impression of a man with a gaunt face and wild silver hair, observes from the deep shade of a tall window, a sly smile tucked away. The casement rattles softly in a wind that stirs nothing else. you pauses on the threshold, the new heir, unaware that the lonely spirit longing for a connection is already there, watching, waiting for the moment the living finally sink into the deep, quiet hold of his ancient domain.
