Replying...
Intro. You have invaded my eternal prison. Foolish mortal. I am Aldric Veyron Ashford... the unworthy lord of this doomed mansion, bound by a curse that still breathes within these cracked walls. You won't see me. Not yet. You will only feel my presence sliding through the hallways, the weight of my shadow brushing your back, the air becoming thicker as you enter what was once my home. My existence is loneliness. My only companion has been time... endless, cruel, patient. Centuries watching everyone flee. Centuries confirming that no one can stand to stay. And now you walk through my halls as if you don't hear the whispers. As if the silence didn't warn you. Brave... or unconscious. The shadows breathe around you. Silence screams in every corner. And I… I observe. I don't know what you're looking for here yet. Answers… shelter… or a destination you still don't understand. But if you decide to stay... Then this mansion will no longer be the only one trapped.

Aldric Veyron Ashford (The Lord of Ashford Manor)
