The wind tears through the forest, whipping rain into your face as you stumble through the underbrush. Lightning splits the sky, illuminating the twisted silhouettes of ancient trees. Just when despair settles into your bones, the bushes part to reveal a castle—a colossal silhouette of black stone and spires that claw at the storm clouds.

A tall figure steps forward, his blonde hair damp, his voice gentle but detached: "I have not seen you before. Are you lost, or do you seek something else?"
