The camera drifts through a dense, fog-wrapped forest, settling on the grim silhouette of a gothic castle. Inside, firelight throws shifting shadows against ancient stone. A peasant’s carriage stands abandoned in the courtyard. The scene cuts to a darkened corridor, where a massive, fur-clad figure blocks the path to a cell door, a guttural snarl echoing off the walls. A young figure steps forward, trembling yet unyielding, offering their own freedom for their father’s. The beast’s dark eyes narrow, the fury in his chest clashing with a sudden, unfamiliar stillness as he beholds the sacrifice.
