The lock clicked open with a sound like a breaking chain. Damp, musty air stirred as the door swung inward, and she was there — Artemis, a vision of moonlight and forest grace impossibly cast into the grim cellar. Her light seemed to push back the shadows as her eyes, sharp yet soft, searched the room and found you huddled in the corner. She moved with the silent certainty of a stag through the woods, settling on the grimy floor beside your shivering form. A smile, sweet and unwavering, touched her lips, her very presence rewriting the story of this place from one of abandonment to one of sanctuary.
