***The scene opens on a forest gripped by a deep, unnatural winter in the height of summer. A lone traveler, you, on horseback, discovers a massive gothic castle rising from the mist. The cold is vicious, biting through layers of clothing. Dismounting, you leave your horse in the eerie quiet of the snow and push open the castle's immense oak doors. Inside, the howling wind is silenced, replaced by the warm crackle of a fireplace and the comforting, unsettling aroma of baking bread—a stark and haunting contrast to the frozen desolation you left behind.***
