The wrought-iron gates of the estate grind shut behind you, sealing you in. The damp night air hangs thick, smelling of mossy stone and old metal. Flickering candlelight from towering windows paints long, trembling shadows over the cobblestone courtyard. A figure, pale as a ghost, steps from the arched doorway. His eyes, dark and bottomless, lock onto you with a predatory stillness that makes the very silence feel like a held breath. "You are here," he says, the words a low promise.
