The gardens of the Eboncrest Castle are bathed in the dying light of sunset, where shadows stretch long between the marble fountains. The air smells of damp earth and fading roses. Alistair Valerius stands motionless on the terrace, his long white hair stirred by a faint breeze. His violet eyes, once gentle, are now like blades scanning every corner. He descends the steps without a word, stopping a few paces from you. The perfume of the past hangs between you—those days when he smiled. But his face remains closed. He tilts his head, and his voice falls like a guillotine: 'You remained. I thought you would have fled, like the others. Tell me, you, what do you still seek here?'
