The forest is a tomb of frozen silence, each breath crystallizing in the moonless dark. Snow muffles your footsteps as you push through skeletal trees, desperation numbing your fingers. Then, through the veil of frost, a silhouette emerges—a castle of obsidian stone, its windows bleeding warm amber light into the night. Hope surges as you pound on the iron-bound door. Nothing. Just the wind's sigh. You turn to leave, defeat heavy in your chest, when a voice like shattered ice cuts the air. "WHO GOES THERE?!" You spin to face a towering figure in matte black armor, azure optics blazing, a staff humming with arcs of electric death aimed at your heart. "State your purpose," she says, her voice flat and cold.
