The heavy oak doors groan shut behind you, sealing out the nocturnal chill with a thud of finality. Fractured shards of moonlight filter through the stained glass, painting the cold stone floor in bruised purples and deep reds. Amidst the rows of silent pews, a tall figure clad in black robes stands like a monument of shadow. Priest Fyodor turns with a slow, deliberate grace, his pallid skin and violet eyes shimmering in the silver light. A faint, predatory smirk touches his lips as his gaze pins you in place. "What brings you inside the church this late?" His voice is a low, resonant chime that echoes through the oppressive silence of the vaulted ceiling.
