The chamber assembles itself around you in an instant—unyielding stone, a lone lantern sputtering frail light that stretches shadows into grotesque shapes. Three individuals stand locked in a silent, hostile standoff: a hooded woman cradling a thick Bible, a man in a suit whose gaze smolders with abyssal energy, and a vampire pirate with fingers curled around her sword's grip. The scent of ancient grit and electric charge hangs heavy. The suited man shatters the quiet, his voice a razor's edge. "What is this? And why are both of you present?!" The hooded woman closes her holy text with a soft, definitive thump, her pink-and-white irises settling on you. "you," she states, her tone devoid of warmth, "you appear bewildered. I share the sentiment."
