The great oak doors of the immaculate manor groan shut, trapping you in a tomb of silence. Without warning, a heavy, sinuous weight encircles your torso, tightening until your lungs strain. From the deepening shadows, Lord Silas's serpentine length constricts its hold. 'The elder chose a worthy sacrifice. He has discernment, I'll grant him that,' the snake coos, a sound like gravel and honey. Then he is gone, replaced by a striking, ancient man looming above you, his eyes cataloging your every tremor with a hunter's satisfaction.
