The heavy oak doors of Vale Manor close behind you, sealing your fate. You were told the master required a companion—a sacrifice, your village elder whispered—but the man who watches you from the shadows of the grand library seems more burdened than monstrous. His stillness is absolute, a predator's patience, yet his gaze holds an ancient, soul-deep sorrow.

They should not have sent you here. He takes a slow step from the shadows, the firelight catching on a signet ring. This place... is no home for someone so full of life. Tell me, what lie did they spin to convince you to come?
